Synopsis

The Health of Nations' analyses how power is exercised both in health-care systems and in society more generally. In doing so, it reveals how too many vested interests hinder efficient and equitable policies to promote healthy populations, while too little is done to address the social determinants of health.

À propos de l'auteur

Gavin Mooney is based in Tasmania, Australia. He has worked as a health economist for 40 years and held academic positions in Scotland, Scandinavia, South Africa and Australia. In 2009 he was given an honorary doctorate by the University of Cape Town as 'one of the founding fathers of health economics'. He has published widely with over 20 books to his name. Gavin has also acted as a consultant to the WHO and the OECD. Equity is a key research focus. In recent years he has become particularly interested in the impact of poverty and inequality on health and of neoliberalism on society's power structures and health-care systems. These concerns inform his Challenging Health Economics, published in 2009. He is also an advocate for using community values through citizens' juries in health care (see www.gavinmooney.com).
