ABSTRACT
This conclusion presents some closing thoughts on the concepts covered in the preceding chapters of this book. The book argues that institutionalized corporate-capitalist domination of state and science generates new and growing public health risks. Capitalism must expand in order to survive, and the consumer way of life is the limitless reservoir upon which expansion of the productive forces draws. Since the 1970s, international capitalism has been locked into a prolonged lack of economic dynamism. Finance capital has become integral to ensuring that the ever-expanding volumes of goods and services of the corporate sector are converted into sales and profits so that they receive their reward in the form of rents and interest.
