          Abstract

          The article explores the ideas of Pan American Health Organization director Abraham Horwitz on the relations between health and development at the time the Alliance for Progress was established, in 1961. Taking development discourse as a public philosophy of international cooperation, the discussion centers on how Horwitz worked to mediate between health and development. Horwitz endeavored to establish arguments that highlighted the importance of social policy, especially in health; he also strove to reach different audiences and drew connections between elements like health, illness, and labor productivity, without ignoring the humanistic considerations so dear to the public health tradition

          Translated abstract

          O artigo examina as ideias de Abraham Horwitz, diretor da Organização Pan-americana da Saúde, sobre as relações entre saúde e desenvolvimento, quando da celebração da Aliança para o Progresso, em 1961. Toma-se o discurso do desenvolvimento como a filosofia pública da cooperação internacional e discute-se a forma pela qual Horwitz propõe uma mediação entre saúde e desenvolvimento. Verifica-se que ele preocupou-se em estabelecer um cardápio de argumentos favoráveis à importância das políticas sociais, em particular da saúde, ampliando adesões em diferentes audiências, afirmando conexões entre saúde, adoecimento e produtividade do trabalho, sem prescindir de um sentido humanístico, caro à tradição sanitarista

              The McKeown thesis: a historical controversy and its enduring influence.

              The historical analyses of Thomas McKeown attributed the modern rise in the world population from the 1700s to the present to broad economic and social changes rather than to targeted public health or medical interventions. His work generated considerable controversy in the 1970s and 1980s, and it continues to stimulate support, criticism, and commentary to the present day, in spite of his conclusions' having been largely discredited by subsequent research. The ongoing resonance of his work is due primarily to the importance of the question that underlay it: Are public health ends better served by targeted interventions or by broad-based efforts to redistribute the social, political, and economic resources that determine the health of populations?
