Increased inequality gaps associated with globalization have serious implications for global health. Global changes in political economy shape global health influencing who bears the burden from epidemics, unhealthy environments and lack of access to health care. Shows how differentials in wealth and power affect health burdens and shape the structure of governance. Pieter Fourie from Macquarie University, Australia
