About this listen

A Healthy Society offers a new approach to politics–and a new approach to building a healthier world. Dr. Meili argues that health delivery too often focuses on treatment of immediate causes and ignores fundamental conditions that lead to poor health such as income, education, employment, housing, and environment.

This updated edition explores the positive steps that have been taken since publication of the first edition and includes expanded discussions of basic income, poverty reduction strategies, innovative housing polices, carbon pricing, and the role of health professionals in working for health equity. This book breaks important ground, showing us how a focus on health can change Canadian politics for the better.

A must listen for anyone interested in politics and health.

Though he does share some sad and tragic stories from the field, Ryan is able to give a vision of hope for a healthier society. This book is as applicable to the areas of health & politics as it was when it was first released in 2012. A definite recommended listen (and read).
