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 soldOffering 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 crisis. In this, the 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 travelled 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 Londons financial districts, telling the stories of the people, the special interests, and the logics of pandemic bondsOriginal, insightful, and extremely timely, Eriksons 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 capitalisms effect on human health, Investable! will appeal to financiers, politicians, economists, people working in global development, healthcare, and international affairs, and anyone who wants to better understand how capitalism affects how we care for one another in times of crisis.
