From the Publisher
"This is a major contribution to the debate about health policies for older people. The study represents a powerful critique of health inequality and will be a vital resource for students of social policy and social gerontology." Chris Phillipson, Professor of Applied Social Studies and Social Gerontology, Director of Social Science Research Institutes, Keele University, UK.
"This highly readable and thought-provoking book could not be more timely. In challenging orthodox - and increasingly pessimistic - understandings of health and care, Liz Lloyd makes a compelling case for change in the orientation of public policy in ageing societies." Thomas Scharf, Professor of Social Gerontology and Directory, Irish Centre for Social Gerontology, National University of Ireland Galway, Ireland.
"...the book will appeal to academics, postgraduate students, senior practitioners and policy makers. I will be adding this publication to the reading lists of our postgraduate students". Karen Lowton, Institute of Gerontology, King's College London.

“The book places socioeconomic determinants of health at the centre of its discussion and draws attention to the vast social inequalities both within and across boundaries. . . . [It] covers an impressive range of disciplines . . . [and] provides an important critical perspective.”
