 Work, the Grand Cure
How changing the way Britain works will be good for our health
Dr Howard Stoate and Bryan Jones
ISBN: 978 0 7163 3064 6
£9.95
Health inequalities are an issue of central importance to every government department; you can’t build a strong economy or a healthy society by parking health inequalities as an issue on the fringes of government.
In 'Work, the Grand Cure' Howard Stoate and Bryan Jones argue that the question of whether the new Government engages in any meaningful way with Sir Michael Marmot’s recommendations on health inequality – and on the health effects of good work in particular – will be a litmus test showing whether the Liberal-Conservatives are really serious about inequality and social justice.

 In the Mix: Narrowing the gap between public and private
Housing policy across the last century has been nothing short of disastrous for many people. Despite the great ambitions of successive Labour Governments, housing still fails too many social groups. This Fabian Policy Report shows a strong association between public housing, worklessness and poverty, but the system also fails first time buyers, people living in cities and even middle class home owners. This is only being made worse by the economic crisis.
