Comprehensive in coverage this textbook, written by academics from leading institutions, discusses current developments and debates in modern health economics from an international perspective. Economic models are presented in detail, complemented by real-life explanations and analysis, and discussions of the influence of such theories on policymaking. Offering sound pedagogy and economic rigor, Health Economics focuses on building intuition alongside appropriate mathematical formality, translating technical language into accessible economic narrative. Rather than shying away from intellectual building blocks, students are introduced to technical and theoretical foundations and encouraged to apply these to inform empirical studies and wider policymaking.Health Economics provides:- A broad scope, featuring comparative health policy and empirical examples from around the world to help students relate the principles of health economics to everyday life- Coverage of topical issues such as the obesity epidemic, economic epidemiology, socioeconomic health disparities, and behavioural economics- A rich learning resource, complete with hundreds of exercises to help solidify and extend understanding.This book is designed for advanced undergraduate courses in health economics and policy but may also interest postgraduate students in economics, medicine and health policy.Accompanying online resources for this title can be found at bloomsburyonlineresources.com/health-economics. These resources are designed to support teaching and learning when using this textbook and are available at no extra cost.

Most of the world was in lockdown from March 2020 under the spurious theory that wrecking small businesses, closing schools, and compromising every civil liberty could somehow be a pathway to controlling a respiratory virus. Media censorship of alternative approaches began immediately, thus silencing credible critics.Eight months in, and before the release of the pharmaceutical products pushed as the solution, a small group of scientists gathered to conduct an educational seminar on the basics of public-health. They concluded the meeting with what they called the Great Barrington Declaration. Through thoughtful digital strategies, its existence broke through the censorship apparatus and gained massive public attention. It was ultimately signed by tens of thousands of doctors and scientists, and by nearly a million citizens around the world.That single document broke the illusion of consensus and cast a ray of hope for billions of people who were living under lockdown and mask mandates, and would soon face mandates to accept newly developed vaccine products. The declaration came under heavy fire from government, media, and some public health scientists, though it actually represented little more than traditional public health wisdom.This collection brings together the important documents concerning the declaration, including additional explanations, discussions, and debates. The experience told in these pages is, above all, a tribute to the power of ideas when the world needs to change course.
