Public Health and Public Goods
Public Health Ethics 4 (3):251-259 (2011)
| Abstract | It has become increasingly difficult to distinguish public health from related fields like social work. I argue that we should reclaim the more traditional conception of public health as the provision of health-related public goods. The public goods account has the advantage of establishing a relatively clear and distinctive mission for public health. It also allows a consensus of people with different comprehensive moral and political commitments to endorse public health measures, even if they disagree about precisely why they are desirable | |||||||||
