The Political Determinants of Health is an interesting investigation into the history of American Politics. It aims to sensitise readers to the delicate topic of public health. The world would in fact be a better place if there was not such disparity of gender, status and opportunity. History teaches us that these are real problems which have a profound social impact, whose repercussions spread through time, and are passed down through generations. These differences can be combatted through targeted political choices, yet it is no mean feat. Politics has, or should have, a moral duty to resolve differences for a healthier, more equal and more inclusive society.
