The Newcastle University research output collection, currently available on ePrints, will shortly be moving to a new open repository platform, Figshare. To prepare for the data migration we have paused adding new content to ePrints, and will resume once the new repository is launched. During this time you will continue to have access to ePrints (but no new content will appear). We will share updates here when available.

Abstract

© 2016 Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor & Francis Group. A recent CPH editorial addressed ‘the perils of invoking neoliberalism in public health critique’. While in sympathy with many of the authors’ concerns, I argue that the analytical literature on neoliberalism, the historical record of neoliberalism’s promotion and diffusion, and the empirical evidence of its health consequences support the view that ‘neoliberal epidemics’ represent a substantial and clearly definable threat to public health and health equity.
