Résumé :
|
As governments on every scale become motivated by short-term economic gains, the essential causes of public health and equity are regularly subject to political questioning and financial shortcutting. “Governing for Health” is a counterpoint to this myopic approach -- a passionate, rigorous case for why the health of a society is both its greatest measure and its most untapped source of prosperity. Drawing on evidence from economic policy, urban planning, education, environmental policy, and civil action, Fran Baum offers more than a pie-in-sky vision of an equitable society. “Governing for Health” is an actionable (and inspiring) roadmap to a society that draws prosperity from advancing the health of its people. Fran Baum calls for a governance centered on public health and equity.
