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.
