The Fourth Infrastructure
The fourth infrastructure
We defend the air, the water, and the food supply. We do not defend the body. Why not?
Every society already treats three physical domains as common infrastructure — the air, the water, the food supply. Each is monitored, regulated, and protected, because each is a condition of life.
The body is the fourth. It is the only one we leave to the market, to chance, to ZIP code. Defending it — as infrastructure, as a right — is the unfinished work of this generation. Health 4.0 is how it gets built.
