Political and Economic Determinants of Population Health and Well-Being Controversies and Developments

The field of social inequalities in health continues its vigorous growth in the early years of the 21st century. This volume, following in the footsteps of Vicente Navarro's edited collection The Political Economy of Social Inequalities, is a compilation of recent contributions to the areas of social epidemiology, health disparities, health economics, and health services research. The overarching theme is to describe and explain the ever-growing health inequalities across social class, race, and gender, as well as neighborhood, city, region, country, and continent. The approach of this book is distinctly multi-, trans-, and interdisciplinary: the fields of public health, population health, epidemiology, economics, sociology, political science, philosophy, medicine, and history are all represented here.Navarro, Vicente is the author of 'Political and Economic Determinants of Population Health and Well-Being Controversies and Developments', published 2004 under ISBN 9780895032782 and ISBN 0895032783.
