Abstract

In the early post‐war years, tuberculosis could be prevented, identified and cured. This paper is about why that promise was not realised. We have collated evidence on the morbidity and mortality problem over a wider range of countries than previously explored. This revealed a divided world in which some people were denied release from the disease. We consider the extent to which development itself creates the condition in which the disease spreads, by assessing how and why the emerging markets experienced and dealt with the disease. Finally, we consider why so many peoples in the developing world continued to contract the disease and die. Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
