Bloomsbury Publishing PLC The Health Gap: The Challenge of an Unequal World

Wealth buys better health and longer life. Poverty is corrosive, it grinds people down, mentally and physically. Poverty and extreme class inequality also corrode our social fabric, bonds between us are breaking down, class divides grow . The rich buy their health. The poor get chronically sick. The evidence is clear and unequivocal, the most unequal societies have the greatest number of people suffering from chronic conditions such as depression, anxiety, substance abuse and addiction, chronic inflamatory conditions. Etc. So much sickness incubating in our broken societies. Read this informative book and reach your own conclusions.

This book is a must-read for all doctors. It changed my own practice and way of viewing my own patients. I wish it were a core textbook as part of medical school curricula.

An excellent, readable, thoroughly researched and evidenced account of how strongly health is influenced by relative levels of poverty and disempowerment.

Bought this after graduating as I was keen to learn more about health inequalities & have read alot of Marmot’s work during my studies. A fascinating read
