Steep socioeconomic hierarchy in post-industrial Western society
threatens public health because of the physiological consequences
of material and psychosocial insecurities and deprivations.
Following on from their previous books, the authors continue their
exploration of the geography of early mortality from age-related
chronic conditions, of risk behaviors and their health outcomes,
and of infant and child mortality, all due to rigid hierarchy. They
divide the 50 states into those that gave their electoral college
votes to Trump and those that gave theirs to Clinton in the 2016
presidential election and compare the two sets for socioeconomic
and public health profiles. They deliberately apply only simple
standard statistical methods in the public health analyses: t-test,
Mann-Whitney test, bivariate regression, and backward stepwise
multivariate regression. The book assumes familiarity with basic
statistics. The authors argue that the unequal power relations that
result in eroding public health in the nation and, in particular,
in the Trump-voting states, largely cascade from the collapse of
American industry, and they analyze the Cold War roots of that
collapse. In two largely independent chapters on economics, they
explore both the suppression of countervailing forces, such as
organized labor, and the diversion of technical resources to the
military as essential foundations to the population-level suffering
that expressed itself in the 2016 presidential election. This
interdisciplinary book has several primary audiences: creators of
public policies, such as legislators and governmental staff, public
health professionals and social epidemiologists, economists, labor
union professionals, civil rights advocates, political scientists,
historians, and students of these disciplines from public health
through the social sciences. The Open Access version of this book,
