Health inequalities are the most important inequalities of all. In
the US and the UK these inequalities have now reached an extent not
seen for over a century. Most people's health is much better now
than then, but the gaps in life expectancy between regions, between
cities, and between neighbourhoods within cities now surpass the
worst measures over the last hundred years. In almost all other
affluent countries, inequalities in health are lower and people
live longer. In his new book, academic and writer Danny Dorling
describes the current extent of inequalities in health as the
scandal of our times. He provides nine new chapters and updates a
wide selection of his highly influential writings on health,
including international-peer reviewed studies, annotated lectures,
newspaper articles, and interview transcripts, to create an
accessible collection that is both contemporary and authoritative.
As a whole the book shows conclusively that inequalities in health
are the scandal of our times in the most unequal of rich nations
and calls for immediate action to reduce these inequalities in the
near future.
