Description

Based on extensive archival research, this study examines the role of the Rockefeller Foundation and the League of Nations in improving public health during the interwar period. Barona argues that the Foundation applied a model of business efficiency to its ideology of spreading good health, creating a revolution in public health practice.

Author Biography:

Josep L Barona is professor of the history of science at the University of Valencia. He has taught courses on the history of medicine and the history of biological thinking as part of medicine and biology degrees. His research interests cover health and sanitation in rural areas in contemporary Spain and Europe, nutrition, hunger and health: the political economy of scientific knowledge, and scientific exile and the Spanish Civil War.
