INTERVIEW

Health, Equity, And Political Economy: A Conversation With Paul Farmer

Physician, anthropologist, and pied piper for global health equity, Paul Farmer is one of the world’s leading voices for health and development. His mix of applied humanitarianism, scholarship, and charisma have brought focus to the plight of the world’s poor and demonstrated that strategic health and socioeconomic interventions can make a difference. In 1987 he cofounded Partners In Health, an international organization that works to provide care in resource-poor settings around the world. In this interview with Health Affairs contributing editor and global workforce expert Fitzhugh Mullan, Farmer talks about the state of global health and the interplay between health, equity, and political economy.
