 ____<br /><br /><br /><br />The Socialist Register was founded by Ralph 
 Miliband and John Saville in 1964 as &lsquo\;an annual survey of movemen
 ts and ideas&rsquo\; from the standpoint of the independent new left. It
  is currently edited by Leo Panitch\, Colin Leys\, Greg Albo and Vivek C
 hibber\, assisted by an editorial collective of eminent scholars in Afri
 ca\, Asia\, Europe and the Americas. Each volume is focused on a topical
  theme and features a selection of inter-disciplinary analyses taking in
  diverse geographical locations. <br /><br />This volume examines the st
 ruggle between commercial forces\, across the world\, seeking to make he
 alth care a field of capital accumulation\, and popular forces fighting 
 to keep it -- or make it -- a public service with equal access for all. 
 <br /><br />It addresses the political and accumulation strategies of &l
 squo\;big pharma&rsquo\;\, the global food industry&rsquo\;s production 
 of hunger and obesity\, and the relationships between capitalism and men
 tal illness\, amongst other topics. It also examines the forces at work 
 in a broad range of national health care systems to explain:<br /><br />
 - President Obama&rsquo\;s plans for the US health system\, <br />-The c
 ommodification of European public healthcare\, <br />-Systemic gender di
 scrimination in the health systems of Sub-Saharan Africa<br />-Cuba&rsqu
 o\;s egalitarian health policies at home and abroad<br />-What we can le
 arn from HIV/AIDS mobilizations to build a comprehensive public health m
 ovement.<br /><br />Colin Leys\, along with contributors Wendy Savage an
 d Jonathan Tomlinson\, will be discussing the state of healthcare across
  the world\, followed by a Q &amp\;A session with audience members.<br /
