DYING FOR GROWTH:
Global Inequality and the Health of the Poor
edited by Jim Yong Kim, Joyce V. Millen, Alec Irwin and John Gershman

an invaluable resource to inform activists ready to challenge
the World Bank and the IMF in Washington on April 14th-16th

"Thanks to the painstaking research, uncompromising analysis and
compassionate advocacy of the Institute for Health and Social Justice,
official and corporate actors of globalization will have no place to hide.
Dying for Growth reveals in relentless detail the brutal health outcomes
of their policies and provides proof positive that their vaunted 'concern for
the poor' is a sham.  A big, thorough, important book full of high caliber
ammunition to be directed forthwith at the originators of limitless human
suffering." - Susan George

"While most of the world's poor are dying - in the sense of yearning -
to reap some of the benefits of current economic growth,
others are literally dying from the austerity
measures imposed to promote it." - excerpt form Dying for Growth

"Viewing the contemporary world from the perspective of health outcomes,
this penetrating and often harrowing inquiry provides a wealth of valuable
insights and analyses, woven together with in-depth studies that are
poignant, vivid and highly informative.  It is a challenge to complacency, a
thoughtful and compelling call to action." - Noam Chomsky
