The author explores the role of social and economic injustices as
root causes of the uneven distribution of disease across population
groups according to class, race and gender. There is a strong
relation between social and economic inequities and health
inequities and the author shows how to develop a framework to
understand social and economic policies that would improve the
health status of all segments of society. The book explores the
global public health issues, processes for influencing policy, and
the skills to effectively advocate for health and social justice.
