 transition’ and increased tobacco use in low- and middle-income countries), I, too, have been troubled by the lack of attention to persisting and dramatic inequities in health due to infectious disease. That the drivers of both infectious disease and NCDs
 can be traced back to structural inequities residing in our globalized neoliberal economy is rarely addressed.</span></p>
