Power, privilege, and profitable poisons: commercial determinants are fast becoming the most urgent and significant health, social, and governance challenge of our time. At the heart of the greatest risk facing our planet and populations, this book is an important resource furthering our understandings and catalyzing our responses to the commercial determinants of health. * Sandro Demaio, CEO, VicHealth * An important and timely introduction to the field of how commercial factors shape our health, and what we might do about it. This book is essential reading for all working to reduce health inequalities. * Jennifer Dixon, Chief Executive, The Health Foundation * This much needed and unprecedented resource tackles the 'elephant in the room'-the dramatic impacts of for-profit enterprises on global health. As a World Health Organization priority area, these commercial determinants of health must be understood and addressed to improve health, wellbeing, and equity. This book's depth and scope across geographies, populations, and industries is a valuable resource. I encourage anyone working in global health or interested in how industries impact the world around us to read it and apply its messages. * Etienne Krug, Director, Social Determinants, World Health Organization * This is a timely and impressive collection by leading scholars on the current state of research on the commercial determinants of health. An essential resource for anyone concerned about how certain forms of profit-seeking are running roughshod over the well-being of populations and the planet. * Kelley Lee, Professor and Canada Research Chair in Global Health Governance, Simon Fraser University, and Scientific Director, Pacific Institute on Pathogens, Pandemics and Society *
