About the book
A rigorous analysis of the possibilities and challenges of eradicating infectious diseases in the twenty-first century, exploring successful historical cases such as smallpox and examining current diseases that could be eliminated with investment and political will. Nancy Leys Stepan combines the history of medicine, epidemiology, and social analysis to assess which diseases are biologically eradicable and which economic and political barriers hinder progress.
The book offers a realistic perspective on the triumphs and limitations of modern medicine, as well as reflecting on equity in global health.
