The Commercial Determinants of Health, edited by Nason Maani, Mark Petticrew, and Sandro Galea

Abstract

The recently published book, The Commercial Determinants of Health, provides an overview of the current debates surrounding how commercial actors influence population health. The term commercial determinants of health, while relatively new, offers an important conceptual framework to more fully understand the factors that impact health. The book also provides an opportunity to elaborate on the possibilities to build healthy public policy and enrich our scholarly and teaching activities within schools of public health and the social science faculties.
