This book addresses the puzzle of why the World Bank was unable to effect sweeping neoliberal health reforms in Latin America from the 1980s onward. Finally, the book distinguishes neoliberal ends from means in health sector reform and traces changes in “banking on health” over time.

“Noy’s work is an excellent installation into the world of comparative, global/ transnational sociology. Her mixed-methods approach is inspirational, and her findings encourage us to always look beyond the conventional narratives that some scholars assume are uniformly true. Her work would be an excellent addition to courses on medical sociology, global/transnational sociology, comparative sociology, the welfare state, and Latin America.” (Timothy Gill, Social Forces, Vol. 96 (4), 2018)
