| Abstract | "Causal inference and the people's health? Myriad urgent problems confront the people's health: the climate crisis, infectious disease pandemics, the financialization of healthcare, hyper-exploitation of workers and hyper-concentrations of wealth, and state violence against peoples of color, women, and LGBTQ people, to name just a few. So why a book on causation and the people's health? For millennia, scholars have spilled rivers of ink in philosophic disputes about causation. Of what relevance to solving public health problems are current debates about causation in epidemiology; debates that play out in the most ivoried corners of the ivoried towers of the academy?"-- Provided by publisher. |
