"Barely a day goes by without news of the latest public health threat from the American media. Some of us are told we live in a ""cancer cluster""--An area with a disproportionate number of cancer deaths. During the summer months, those who live in or near urban areas are bombarded with daily smog measurements and air pollution alerts. City water supplies are frequently called health hazards. At times, it seems as though virtually everything we eat and drink is denounced as bad for us by some ""public health expert."" Our cars burn too much gasoline; we own too many firearms; we are too fat; some of us are too skinny. Americans today are living longer than they ever have before. Why the almost daily announcements of new public health threats and proclamations of impending crises? Bennett and DiLorenzo address this question and others here. They begin by examining the large public health bureaucracy, its preoccupation with expanding governmental programs, and its concern with political issues that too often have little to do with improving public health. Then they trace the evolution of the American public health movement from its founding after the Civil War to the 1950s. They describe the transformation of public health's focus from the eradication of disease to social policy as a by-product of the 1960s. Bennett and DiLorenzo catalogue the ""radicalization"" of the public health movement by discussing its numerous political initiatives. They include case studies of the politicization of the public health movement in America. The authors reveal various methods of statistical manipulation that certain public health researchers use to ""cook the data"" in order to achieve politically correct results. A final chapter discusses the implications of the transformation of public health from pathology to politics. This vigorously argued analysis sees the public health movement as claiming expertise on virtually every social issue, from poverty to human rights. Students of public pol"--Provided by publisher.

Much has been written about how government works, but there has been little systematic analysis of how government does not work. This book analyses the whole range of public policy problems, drawing on insights from a range of academic disciplines, policy areas, and practical experience, with examples drawn from both the United Kingdom and the United States of America. The book is based on the novel concept of the analytical taxonomy of the pathologies of policy making. The use of this medical metaphor provides a framework for the categorization of the diseases of public policy and contributes to an understanding of the nature of policy dysfunctions and their treatment. The analogy helps to organize the material: it does not govern it. The pathologies discussed in the book are grouped into seven categories: congenital disorders, organizational pathologies, information pathologies, delusions, obesity, problems of budgeting, and terminal illness. The possibilities for treating some of these pathologies are then discussed and attention is drawn to the possible pathological consequences of the treatments themselves. Finally, the potential and deficiencies of a number of factors for diagnosing and treating policy pathologies are reviewed.

For over a hundred years, millions of Americans have joined together to fight a common enemy by campaigning against diseases. In Common Enemies, Rachel Kahn Best asks why disease campaigns have dominated a century of American philanthropy and health policy and how the fixation on diseases shapes efforts to improve lives. Combining quantitative and qualitative analyses in an unprecedented history of disease politics, Best shows that to achieve consensus, disease campaigns tend to neglect stigmatized diseases and avoid controversial goals. But despite their limitations, disease campaigns do not crowd out efforts to solve other problems. Instead, they teach Americans to give and volunteer and build up public health infrastructure, bringing us together to solve problems and improve our lives.

"The Nation has lost sight of its public health goals and has allowed the system of public health to fall into 'disarray'," from The Future of Public Health. This startling book contains proposals for ensuring that public health service programs are efficient and effective enough to deal not only with the topics of today, but also with those of tomorrow. In addition, the authors make recommendations for core functions in public health assessment, policy development, and service assurances, and identify the level of government--federal, state, and local--at which these functions would best be handled.
