Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware - Nach jahrelanger Recherche auf fünf Kontinenten haben zwei junge Epidemiologen ihre haarsträubenden Ergebnisse zu einem provokanten und dringlichen Pamphlet zusammengefasst. Harte Fakten belegen die traurige Wahrheit und einen eindeutigen Zusammenhang: Nachdem in Griechenland der Gesundheitsetat 2009 von 24 auf 16 Milliarden Euro gekürzt wurde, stieg die Kindersterblichkeit um 40 Prozent und allein zwischen Januar und Mai 2011 die Zahl der HIV-Neuinfektionen um 52 Prozent. Das gerade vom Krisengewinnler Deutschland aufgezwungene europaweite Sparregime hat dramatische Folgen, denn: 'Was ist der Unterschied zwischen dem IWF und einem Vampir Der Vampir hört auf, einem das Blut auszusaugen, wenn man tot ist.' Hinter den aufrüttelnden Zahlen, den aktuellen sowie historischen Daten und erstaunlichen Grafiken stehen die Schicksale einzelner Menschen, die von den Autoren in drastischen Geschichten porträtiert werden. Aber die beiden Medizinethiker bieten auch Raum für Hoffnung, denn sie zeigen ermutigende Beispiele wirtschaftlicher und gesellschaftlicher Erholung, nachdem kreative, überraschende politische Lösungen für schwierige Bedingungen gefunden wurden. Nach fünf Jahren Rezession ist es Zeit für eine Kehrtwende in der Krisenpolitik - für eine gesündere Zukunft!.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware - By sea and on the airwaves, by dollar and yuan, a contest has begun that will shape the next century. China's rise has now entered a critical new phase, as it seeks to translate its considerable economic heft into a larger role on the world stage, challenging American supremacy. Yet he also shows why China may struggle to unseat the West - its ambitious designs are provoking anxiety, especially in Asia, while America's global alliances have deep roots. If Washington can adjust to a world in which it is not the sole dominant power, it may be able to retain its ability to set the global agenda.
