Richard Titmuss was one of the 20th century's foremost social policy theorists. This accessible Reader is the first compendium of his work on public health, health promotion and health inequalities.
Most of Titmuss's work has been out of print for many years. This volume, like its predecessor, Welfare and wellbeing (The Policy Press, 2001), is important in bringing the work of this highly influential thinker to the attention of a new generation of social policy students and policy makers. It also enhances current debates about how complex societies can best provide for the health of all their citizens.
Private Complaints and Public Health and <a href="https://policy.bristoluniversitypress.co.uk/welfare-and-wellbeing">Welfare and Wellbeing</a> were published as companion titles and are intended to be read together.
