Dear colleagues,
We have been analysing the effects of recessions and austerity on people's health, from the Great Depression through to the present crisis. Our latest book, The Body Economic: Why Austerity Kills, summarises our research published in peer-reviewed journals. In case it is of interest, you can find a review here:

and a short synopsis here:
