In this article, I draw on research on ethics, value, and narrative/storytelling, examining how global health professionals use techno-optimistic stories to position themselves as experts ready to mediate between philanthropists and aid recipients. This techno-optimism involves the coordination of three types of portability—scientific medical, ethico-moral, and monetary. I identify and discuss five key plot elements of techno-optimistic stories. I also describe how this storytelling may re-inscribe health/communicative inequities along lines patterned by race, gender, and nationality. My analysis contributes to theorizations of value, especially theorizations of language and value, discussing how storytelling is central in the constitution and management of distinct types of value.

全球健康故事中的便携价值、不平等和技术乐观主义

在本文中，我利用对伦理、价值和叙事/讲故事的研究，研究全球卫生专业人员如何使用技术乐观的故事将自己定位为准备在慈善家和援助接受者之间进行调解的专家。这种技术乐观主义涉及三种可移植性的协调——科学医学、伦理道德和货币。我确定并讨论了技术乐观故事的五个关键情节元素。我还描述了这种讲故事可能如何按照种族、性别和国籍的模式重新描述健康/交流的不平等。我的分析有助于价值的理论化，尤其是语言和价值的理论化，讨论讲故事如何在不同类型价值的构成和管理中发挥核心作用。【全球健康、叙事、便携、讲故事、价值】
