{"product_id":"health-and-prosperity-fabrice-murtin-9781137577207","title":"Health and Prosperity: Efficient Health Systems for Thriving Nations in the 21st Century","description":"Murtin examines the long-term causes of health improvements over the last two centuries. Focusing on the relative importance of income and education, Murtin finds that education alone accounts for the bulk of health improvements since 1870, and explains the strong correlation between longevity and income, which is highly correlated with education. Conversely, the book shows that progress in longevity has had dramatic consequences on societies, as it reduced fertility, triggered the spread of education, spurred economic growth, and improved 'prosperity' in a way that is comparable to the long-term rise in income. Health and Prosperity sheds light on the real cost of health systems in the 21st century.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Fabrice Murtin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1137577207\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781137577207\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Palgrave MacMillan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/29\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 158\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.82lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.56d","brand":"Fabrice Murtin","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47200133415167,"sku":"9781137577207","price":59.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/health-and-prosperity-fabrice-murtin-9781137577207","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
