- This book provides the first extensive, in-depth examination of the impact of neoliberal policies on health and health inequalities. It involved a sustained research effort, generating a substantial output of 60,000 words. It required the collection, critical review, analysis and synthesis of a large body of material drawn from diverse literatures (including comparative social policy, public health policy and health inequalities), understood from numerous perspectives, and from different international contexts (including European Union, North America and low and middle income countries). A critical argument was developed addressing several distinct areas: obesity, insecurity, austerity and inequality.
