{"product_id":"equal-care-health-equity-social-democracy-and-the-egalitarian-state","title":"Equal Care: Health Equity, Social Democracy, and the Egalitarian State","description":"Introduces a vision for the future of health equity and explains practical policy measures for how to achieve it.\nHealth inequity is one of the defining problems of our time. But current efforts to address the problem focus on mitigating the harms of injustice rather than confronting injustice itself. In Equal Care, Seth A. Berkowitz, MD, MPH, offers an innovative vision for the future of health equity by examining the social mechanisms that link injustice to poor health. He also presents practical policies designed to create a system of social relations that ensures equal care for everyone.\nAs Berkowitz illustrates, the project of social democracy works to improve health by bringing relationships of equality to the sites of human cooperation: in civil society, in political processes, and in economic activities. This book synthesizes three elements necessary for such a project―normative justification, mechanistic knowledge, and technical proficiency―into a practical vision of how to create health equity. Drawing from the fields of medicine, social epidemiology, sociology, economics, political science, philosophy, and more, Berkowitz makes clear that health inequity is social failure embodied, and the only true cures are political. Equal Care is essential reading for anyone concerned with the future of health equity.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1421448246\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.1421448246.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Berkowitz, Seth A.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Gently used with minimal wear on the corners and cover.
