Inhaltsangabe
A critical and sobering look at how international bankers and investors turn pandemics into investment opportunities, and what we stand to lose when we rely on “innovative finance.”
In a world increasingly defined by crisis, bankers and investors behind the scenes turn catastrophes like pandemics into financial securities that can be bought and sold. Offering new insights into how the excesses of capitalism shape pandemic preparedness, Investable! is an ethnography of World Bank bonds designed to solve a big-ticket global health problem by getting international investors to gamble on future crises. In this first book-length treatment of pandemic bonds, award-winning medical anthropologist Susan Erikson explains how we got here and asks who should hold the responsibility for the terrible things that happen to people, at a time when pandemics are turned into casinos.
Erikson, who traveled over 300,000 miles conducting research for the book, takes readers from the red clay roads of West Africa to the concrete sidewalks of New York City and London’s financial districts, telling the stories of the people, the special interests, and the logics of pandemic bonds. Original, insightful, and extremely timely, Erikson's lively interdisciplinary exploration tells readers in powerful, vibrant prose about the pitfalls of contemporary global health finance “solutions.” Written for a smart general audience concerned about capitalism’s effect on human health, Investable! will appeal to financiers; politicians; economists; people working in global development, health care, and international affairs; and anyone who wants to better understand how capitalism affects how we care for one another in times of crisis.

Verkäuferbewertung 5 von 5 Sternen
Softcover. Zustand: Fine. Abnutzung / Risse - leicht. This critical examination reveals how international bankers and investors exploit pandemics as investment opportunities, highlighting the risks of relying on "innovative finance." In a crisis-driven world, financial players transform catastrophes like pandemics into tradable securities. The book provides a unique ethnography of World Bank bonds aimed at addressing significant global health issues by enticing investors to bet on future crises. Award-winning medical anthropologist Susan Erikson explores the origins of this phenomenon and questions who bears responsibility for the consequences faced by individuals when pandemics are treated like gambling ventures. With over 300,000 miles traveled for research, Erikson takes readers from West Africa's red-clay roads to the financial hubs of New York City and London, sharing stories of people, interests, and the rationale behind pandemic bonds. This original and timely work offers a lively interdisciplinary perspective, using vibrant prose to illuminate the challenges of modern global health finance solutions. Aimed at a smart general audience concerned about capitalism's impact on health, it appeals to financiers, politicians, economists, global development professionals, healthcare workers, and anyone seeking to understand capitalism's influence on our care for one another during crises.
