This episode explores *Everything Is Tuberculosis* by John Green, examining how global health inequality shapes who benefits from scientific progress.
Rather than treating tuberculosis as only a medical issue, this investigation reveals how poverty, institutions, healthcare access, and political priorities interact to determine why a disease with an effective cure continues to kill millions of people each year.
Using the book as an entry point, the episode investigates a broader systems question: Why do human societies often discover solutions long before they distribute them equitably?
