- 10. Political and societal constraints? Geopolitics affects all administrations, policing and public heath services 4 main aspects to my presentation today: Neoliberalism: creating the drive for uncontrolled globalization/ colonialization of health damaging manufacturing and services by multinational companies set against a drive for low tax/ small state policies The Sovereign individuals, the rise of the super-rich, oligarchy, increasing inequality through the offshoring of wealth. And the rise of populism, accelerating political corruption and distrust of governments, creating culture wars; leading to politic instability across the globe, creating conditions of fear, distrust and opportunities for conflict. The information revolution has influenced all of these: the explosion of social media, and industrial disinformation undermining individual thinking and undermining democratic processes A Healthy State?

Editor's Notes
- #19: Multinational companies reproduce the individualistic narrative and current economic and social models that leave so many behind and fuel violence and despair.油 The police and the public bear the brunt. Key examples are the alcohol and fossil fuel industries.油 油 These industries fuel so much inequity, ill-health and violence yet they present themselves are part of the solution, often funding CSR programmes ostensibly designed to meet the needs of people, while acting to prevent policies we know are needed to address the harms caused by their products and distort evidence and understanding.
