Cookson R: Reducing Health Inequality

Reducing Health Inequality

Ethics, Economics and Evidence

Studies in Postwar American Political Development

Corporations in the United States have for many decades sought to preserve and extend their power by claiming attributes and privileges reserved for natural persons.

Liberalism and the Reinvention of the Modern Corporation presents a political history of corporate "identity politics." Wielding arguments derived from social movements in search of equity and equality, corporate advocates used identity-based claims not to "right" historical wrongs, but to peel back popular regulations designed to provide access to healthcare, safer workplaces and communities, and elections free from the influence of concentrated wealth. Looking beyond the courtroom, Kathleen J. Frydl argues that members of Congress played the decisive role in securing identity-based corporate powers. By couching their efforts to assist corporations as "fair play," legislators turned modern liberalism into a strictly procedural philosophy, devoid of substantive claims and uninterested in power differentials. In a sweeping narrative, Liberalism and the Reinvention of the Modern Corporation places corporate identity politics at the heart of the modern conservative movement, the crisis of liberalism, and the fractured politics that define the current American political moment.

Liberalism and the Reinvention of the Modern Corporation

This book proposes a radical rethink of how we fund our economy. Rather than disentangling public and corporate finance, this book shows how the two are forced to feed a never-ending force: growth. By re-visiting how money is created in our economy, the book proposes a new way of funding the economy using interest-free money creation.
Economic evaluation techniques like Cost-Benefit Analysis (CBA) reinforce the idea that to receive funding, a project need to generate economic growth. However, this book argues that the priority of the economics discipline should be to illuminate resource allocation and scarcity and propose ways to make the economy self-sustainable, helping to avoid inflation and poverty. To do this, the book highlights that not all public needs—such as social housing or other non-profit services—require economic growth. It argues that by decoupling public funding from taxation and interest-based borrowing, governments could more effectively fund essential public services that do not need to be profitable, thereby freeing the public sector from the growth imperative imposed by the current financial system. With practical applications for sectors including healthcare, environmental policy and sustainability, the book’s interdisciplinary approach – incorporating insights from economics, finance, public policy, anthropology and more – will be a valuable tool for scholars and practitioners in diverse fields.

The Health and Wellness Lie

World Scientific Series In Health Investment And Financing

This volume examines American exceptionalism in healthcare as the historical development of a large, pluralistic, innovation-driven, mixed public-private healthcare industry. Its central argument is that US healthcare should not be understood solely as a delivery system, public program, or cost problem, but as a productive national industry comprising clinical services, non-clinical services, manufacturing, financing, insurance, public health, research, digital systems, and supply chains. The book traces how this industry evolved from a fragmented cottage sector into a corporate powerhouse with exceptional scientific capacity, specialized care, organizational diversity, entrepreneurial energy, and technological depth.The major story of the volume is cumulative. It begins by defining the conceptual foundations, national context, historical evolution, resources, structure, and functions of the healthcare industry. It shows how federalism, private enterprise, professional autonomy, plural ownership, market-based organization, and consumer choice produced both extraordinary strengths and persistent weaknesses. The emphasis is not on capital markets as the main subject, but on how resources, institutions, organizations, incentives, and governance shape the industry's ability to deliver care, develop knowledge, manufacture technologies, and respond to patient needs.The volume then evaluates the achievements of the US healthcare industry across process, impact, and economic indicators, emphasizing advanced care, biomedical innovation, quality, productivity, patient experience, financial protection, and national economic contribution. It converts this assessment into a reform agenda centered on market-conforming remedies, stronger competition, improved transparency, better risk pooling, interoperability, payment reform, and bounded public backstops where markets alone cannot perform.The afterword brings the argument together by framing American exceptionalism as the interplay of constitutional federalism, private-sector organization, professional autonomy, plural financing, civil liberties, patient autonomy, market incentives, legal regulation, and biomedical ethics. Its final message is that American healthcare should be improved by levelling up its distinctive strengths, not by weakening the institutional features that made it exceptional.

This accessible and thought-provoking book offers a critical exploration of global health philanthropy, blending personal narrative with a rigorous examination of the field's challenges and opportunities. Grounded in the authors' decades of experience, Crossroads in Global Health reflects on the transformative power of medicine, the complexities of global health engagement, and the enduring human impulse to alleviate suffering. The authors examine the tension between short-term relief and durable system change, and show how reframing global health as a marketplace, powered by data, analytics, and AI, can better match resources to need and turn goodwill into measurable impact.Key Features:· Explores the history, evolution, and critiques of global health, with a focus on discrete philanthropic medical missions.· Examines the landscape of global health needs and resources, shaped by logistics, incentives, and institutional structures.· Reflects on the authors' personal journeys in global health, offering insights into the challenges and lessons learned from decades of experience.· Proposes innovative approaches to harnessing data and technology to create a more efficient and accountable marketplace for global health philanthropy.· Balances the importance of systemic solutions with the moral imperative of immediate care, emphasizing the enduring value of direct human connection in medicine.Building on the authors' previous works, including the World Compendium of Healthcare Facilities and Nonprofit Organizations, this book is an essential resource for medical practitioners, academics, and professionals in the non-profit, public, and private sectors. It offers a compelling call to action for those seeking to make a meaningful impact in global health, while honoring the profound responsibility and transformative potential of the medical profession.

Crossroads in Global Health

This is a clear, compelling guide to improving racial literacy in schools and communities, demonstrating how making that investment can transform our education system. Exploring the ability to understand race, racism and anti-racism as an effective tool for recognising and challenging racism, educators and learners will find opportunities to develop their racial literacy through a range of practical activities. These form part of an ongoing journey of learning, using the impact of De Montfort University's Stephen Lawrence Research Centre. This specific, focused approach places the book's advice and ideas - from decolonising the curriculum and anti-racist educator training to student ambassadors and open dialogue - squarely within the historical context of race and education in the UK. By working through the nuance of racial consciousness and towards a fair and equitable society it stands as a productive counterpoint to the conventional wisdom of how to 'solve' racism. This is essential reading for anyone committed to achieving social justice and racial equity in our education system.
