«Epidemiocracia» is the essay by Javier Padilla and Pedro Gullón, published by Capitán Swing in paperback (232 pages, in Spanish).
«Epidemiocracia» starts from the premise that epidemics do not arise from nowhere, but from specific social, political and economic contexts. Using plague, tuberculosis, AIDS, Ebola, malaria and COVID-19 as examples, it analyses how these crises impact different social groups unequally and transform the societies that suffer them. The book raises questions about who is most exposed to falling ill, what health and political responses are necessary, and what kind of healthcare we want after an epidemic crisis.
Suitable for readers interested in public health, epidemiology, social inequalities and critical analysis of political and health responses to epidemic crises.
