I’m excited to announce that this is the first post of the Engineering Innovation Newsletter in partnership with Good Science Project. Good Science Project is a new organization dedicated to improving the funding and practice of science.
Robert Chernomas has a great book on this as well, called To Live and Die in America: Class, Power, Health, and Healthcare. Highly recommend if you want to learn more about the Political Economist's perspective on health outcomes
I’ve heard about Chernomas’ work but haven’t read it yet. It sounds like a perfect complement to discussions on systemic factors in health, especially how class and power shape outcomes beyond just medical interventions.
The victory over infectious diseases shows that systemic infrastructure, like water and sanitation, can outperform costly medical interventions. I believe modern public health should apply this principle to environmental carcinogens, focusing on prevention rather than relying solely on advanced treatments.
