Public Health and Social Justice in the Age of Chadwick: Britain, 1800–1854 - Cambridge Studies in the History of Medicine
Hamlin, Christopher (University of Notre Dame, Indiana)
By carefully retelling the story of the foundations of public health in industrial revolution Britain not as the triumph of responsible government over urban filth but as a politically savvy choice to undermine the potential of a public medicine to provide a basis for radical criticism of laissez faire capitalism, this book opens the possibility for understanding health as a matter of justice.
