Reteaching Economics

Our Global Public Health Unit at Queen Mary University of London is an inter-disciplinary team working on health from sociological, political, anthropological and economic perspectives (amongst others).

Whilst we do not have an economics programme in our unit, we engage with a range of different economic issues and theoretical approaches across our undergraduate and postgraduate programmes. We take a pluralist and critical perspective with regards to the use of economics applied to global public health, including, but not limited to, the following topics:

Economic evaluations of health interventions and limitations of this approach

Economic impact of health

Market failiure

Privatisation and Public Private Partnerships in Health

WHO, trade and health

Neoclassical, Behavioural and Marxian approaches to understanding health

Inequality and health

Pharmaceutical Firms and drug provision

Health financing

Philanthrocapitalism
