The sections on healthcare centre on universal healthcare as opposed to universal health coverage by analysing access, healthcare seeking behaviour, price setting, market provisioning etc. For the chapters on employment, propositions are posited regarding expansion of productive capacity, factor mobility and social security to ensure work for all. Besides theorising education, healthcare and employment based on public provisioning by the people's state, underwritten by a public society, the book provides feasible solutions through data sourced from all major international organisations. In addition, it recognises the unique post-colonial struggles and aspirations of the developing countries, and accordingly resorts to defining the above normative principles, reflecting nuances, subtleties and peculiarities. .
