L’Etat et la santé. Une économie politique du capitalisme sanitaire

Abstract

Health-based capitalism is not only an expression of financial capitalism. Health-based capitalism is the expression of a new dynamic of contemporary capitalism. By irrigating all sectors of the economy, it is the bearer of a new spirit of capitalism through a process of endogenisation of health by capitalism, whose dominant actor is the State. Based on the French case, this text shows that the state is the primary actor in health-based capitalism
