This volume is dedicated to the reflection on the economic-industrial health care complex (EIHCC) from the proposition that the articulation between technological advance, productive development and health promotion is fundamental to guarantee effectiveness in the formulation of public policies for the sector. The editors and the authors of the book defend the need to combine concepts from several areas of science to strengthen the EIHCC, in view of the “profound disarticulation of technological and productive skills and the loss of opportunities to advance in the structuring of a public health system”, effects of the neoliberal economy direction that prevailed in the 1990s. The five chapters are presented as part of an “integrated, systemic and political economy vision”, analyzing aspects related to production and innovation within the EIHCC, and seeking to consolidate political and academic foundations to build “a national project based on social progress and the productive structure”.
