Nason Maani: A Healthier Profit, Gebunden

Klappentext

A clear-eyed account of how commercial forces influence health--and why understanding them matters.

We tend to think of health primarily as a matter of personal choice. In reality, it is profoundly shaped by powerful commercial forces that design our environments, shape what we consume, influence the policies that govern us, and even weave the stories we tell ourselves about harm and responsibility.

In A Healthier Profit, Nason Maani and Sandro Galea delve into how the myriad actions of the business sector affect health in unequal and sometimes hidden ways. Drawing on years of research into the commercial determinants of health, the book takes readers inside the systems through which corporations shape health outcomes: from marketing and lobbying to financial incentives and public relations strategies. It explains how certain industries quietly profit from harm-and why those harms have become invisible. This is not just a story about wrongdoing, or about us versus them. It is a story about agency, power, incentives, and the rules that structure our societies. When those rules change, so can our health.

A Healthier Profitspeaks directly to the moment we are in: a time when the gap between what we know about health harms and what we do about them can no longer be ignored. Accessible, clear-eyed, and urgent, it offers a way of understanding the forces shaping our world and asks what a healthier profit might look like for citizens, employees, investors, policymakers, and business leaders.
