Public Health Economic Analysis
Racial equity laws can be highly beneficial but depends on the overall health of the public health economy. An example from Washington, DC is instructive to elucidate the concept of the public health economy. This economy contrasts with the traditional growth and employment economy. Public health economic theory levels with the political, economic, and social realities to enrich public health understanding of health inequity reproduction. While it takes public health well beyond its traditional disciplinary boundaries, the notion of the public health economy seeks fuller explanations for persistent disparities.
Words Matter: Public Health Economy vs. Ecosystem
Public Health Liberation (PHL) theory instigated a debate as to the appropriate conceptual framing of public health. The PHL notion of the Public Health Economy contrasts with other conceptualizations, including the “public health ecosystem”. This debate is important because PHL posits that the Public Health Economy is a major economy equal to the traditional economy in significance and compelling government interest. This article argues that the Public Health Economy has many advantages over the “public health ecosystem” in theory and practice. The Public Health Economy best positions public health to achieve health equity and justice by recognizing that societal structures are failing to produce health outcomes consistent with growth and economic expansion. Transdisciplinary transformation à la Public Health Liberation theory wherein public health assumes leadership across the Public Health Economy is the new frontier of health equity.
Manuscript Section Guide and Index
Public Health Liberation is a rich and complex approach to understanding and affecting drivers of health inequity. A section guide and index are intended to guide the readers and serve as a referential document for future reading. Given the denseness of our discussion and the 20-30 minutes that are required for a thorough read, we suspect that readers will repeatedly return to master the constructs and theories. This guide is available for download on our website.
