The Moral Economy of AIDS in South Africa (Cambridge Africa Collections) by Nattrass, Nicoli

ISBN: 9780521548649

Cambridge University Press, 01 March 2004

Paperback, 224 pages

Relatively few people have access to antiretroviral treatment in South Africa. The government justifies this on grounds of affordability, a view that Nicoli Nattrass argues is insulating AIDS policy from social discussion and the possibilities of financing a large scale intervention. Nattrass addresses South Africa's contentious AIDS policy from both an economic and ethical perspective. This relevant and accessible work is a valuable resource for readers with an interest in AIDS policy and the social and economic implications of the pandemic.
