Abstract
This paper examines world political economic relationships, especially the growing disparities between “developed” and underdeveloped countries and the role of multinational corporations in exploiting the people and resources of underdeveloped lands. Workers in these lands are identified as high risk for both new and old forms of occupational health hazards. To protect themselves, workers must establish governments on their own behalf rather than client governments serving external capitalist interests. This article appeared, in modified form, in the Proceedings of the Third National Symposium on Non-Communicable Diseases, a conference which was held in the German Democratic Republic, April 21–24, 1976.
