Abstract

This essay refers to several concepts that constitute a new mega-tendency, perhaps the only one in the world scene at the beginning of the century, globalization, a new vein in the academic debate, which is shown as a different option for local, national and international public health. This paper considers the topic of economy and its reductionism, understood as a supplantation of the political and social issues made by economy itself. The essay focuses on the globalization of health, following the main perspective of the analysis. It includes some ethical aspects in terms of freedom, human rights, solidarity, justness and social security.
This article doesn't stay only in the academic debate, it also points toward the search for social horizons for humanity: another alternative to economic hegemony and to the establishment.
