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.
