In the second half of 2008 a serious financial crisis that had begun with the bursting of the property price bubble in the USA turned into the worst economic crisis since the 1930s. This paper contributes to understanding the macroeconomic dynamics that underlie the present crisis. In doing so, first, the notion of the neoliberal mode of regulation and the finance-dominated accumulation regime, in which the pattern of accumulation is shaped by developments in the financial sector, are proposed. This accumulation regime is characterized by low and fragile growth.
Second, the interaction of distributional dynamics and the dynamics of accumulation are highlighted. A polarization of income distribution has been an important feature of the finance-dominated accumulation regime, even if the macroeconomic effects have been different in different countries. While some countries have compensated a stagnant demand with debt-financed consumption, others have compensated it with increasing net exports. Third, the present crisis and the stagnation of wages for large parts of the working classes are intrinsically linked. One underlying cause of the present crisis has been the persistent international imbalances and the associated massive capital flows.
Diabetes is one of the greatest health challenges facing the UK today. The numbers diagnosed are expected to reach over 3 million by 2010. Around half these cases will be people from disadvantaged communities. These are also the people who are less likely to access the appropriate care. Unless it is diagnosed and effectively treated diabetes can put people at risk of complications such as heart and kidney disease, blindness, strokes and amputations. Deaths from diabetes are expected to rise by 25 per cent in the next 10 years.
This report looks at the current link between diabetes and socio economic deprivation in the UK. It also examines possible solutions to tackling this pattern of high diabetes prevalence and poor outcomes amongst diverse communities. These groups by definition include: people from black and minority ethnic (BME) communities, people with diabetes and severe mental illness, prisoners with diabetes, homeless people with diabetes and refugees/asylum seekers, young people, the elderly and people in residential homes. A common theme running through most of these groups is deprivation and socio economic disadvantage.
