abstract: 'The 2008 global financial crisis, precipitated by high-risk,
under-regulated financial practices, is often seen as a singular event.
The crisis, its recessionary consequences, bank bailouts and the
adoption of `austerity'' measures can be seen as a continuation of a
40-year uncontrolled experiment in neoliberal economics. Although public
spending and recapitalisation of failing banks helped prevent a
1930s-style Great Depression, the deep austerity measures that followed
have stifled a meaningful recovery for the majority of populations. In
the short term, these austerity measures, especially cuts to health and
social protection systems, pose major health risks in those countries
under its sway. Meanwhile structural changes to the global labour
market, increasing under-employment in high-income countries and
economic insecurity elsewhere, are likely to widen health inequities in
the longer term. We call for four policy reforms to reverse rising
inequalities and their harms to public health. First is re-regulating
global finance. Second is rejecting austerity as an empirically and
ethically unjustified policy, especially given now clear evidence of its
deleterious health consequences. Third, there is a need to restore
progressive taxation at national and global scales. Fourth is a
fundamental shift away from the fossil fuel economy and policies that
promote economic growth in ways that imperil environmental
sustainability. This involves redistributing work and promoting fairer
pay. We do not suggest these reforms will be politically feasible or
even achievable in the short term. They nonetheless constitute an
evidence-based agenda for strong, public health advocacy and practice.'
