Praised by The Lancet, which called it a "lucid account that ....deserves to be read by everybody interested in the politics of health," and the New England Journal of Medicine, The Health of Nations provides powerful evidence that growing inequality is undermining health, welfare, and community life in America. The book's prizewinning authors also make an urgent argument for social justice as a necessary vehicle for the betterment of society.
