Political challenges are not one of them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAs governments on every scale become motivated by short-term economic gains, the essential causes of public health and equity are regularly subject to political questioning and financial shortcutting. Governing for Health is a counterpoint to this myopic approach -- a passionate, rigorous case for why the health of a society is both its greatest measure and its most untapped source of prosperity. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDrawing on evidence from economic policy, urban planning, education, environmental policy, and civil action, Fran Baum offers more than a pie-in-sky vision of an equitable society. Governing for Health is an actionable (and inspiring) roadmap to a society that draws prosperity from advancing the health of its people. It utilizes methods of progress-measuring, city planning, and progressive policy focal points to advance goals that are unreachable in traditional, economics-driven government practice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhether for students in health equity, more seasoned public health professionals, or citizens interested in their community's and their own health this book offers a trenchant, richly rewarding and accessible look at the field's ultimate end game -- and with it, hope that it's closer than we think.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Oxford University Press Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49095387545827,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":84.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0764\/3758\/6147\/files\/9780190258948-1.jpg?v=1788325177","url":"https:\/\/usa.kinokuniya.com\/products\/9780190258948","provider":"Books Kinokuniya USA","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
