I am honored to be offered the job of Editor-in-Chief of Health Economics @HECJournalTweet, replacing the excellent Sally Stearns (@GillingsGlobal). I plan to reject this offer. Why?
Yesterday was publication day for my new book: shorturl.at/hksCE It’s 110 years to the day since Robert Tressell’s (Noonan) book, The Ragged Trousered Philanthropists was published. The economic basis of poor health is as relevant today as it was then #SameName #SameMessage
Scotland was a nation of public renters rather than one of homeowners before the early 1980s, in contrast to England (and Wales). This meant the discounted sale of council houses and New Town homes had a much bigger impact in Scotland, and left the country looking more like rUK.
Delighted that our new article is out: "Health Economics in a World of Uneconomic Growth" in @ApplHealthEcon with my fantastic colleagues @gerrymccartney1 and @eleanor_ochodo #HealthEconomics meets #EcologicalEconomics... rdcu.be/dFaIB
From trains to buses to water, public ownership is back on the agenda. I've written @po_qu with colleagues @gerrymccartney1 and Jim Phillips on the economic and social fundamentals that shaped both nationalisation in the 20th century and recent interest. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…

Numerous pilots have already shown that a four-day week with no loss of pay is a win-win for both workers and employers. @vaughangething should follow Scotland's lead and commit to getting a public sector pilot underway in Wales this year. walesonline.co.uk/news/uk-news/f…

@gerrymccartney1 Pushing past often hostile politicised caricatures of the history of public ownership to learn from the achievements (as well as limitations) of twentieth century examples can help us build better and more democratic public enterprises in the future.
@gerrymccartney1 The growing distance in time since there was public enterprises operating in key areas like electricity, rail and water across the UK has though created a significant knowledge gap facing politicians and public servants.
I wrote this article with @gerrymccartney1 and Jim Phillips. Public ownership isn't limited to nationalisation by UK government. It includes municipal, metropolitan, regional and devolved national examples. There is growing interest in public enterprise at all of these levels.
Gerry McCartney responds to the sobering picture of life expectancy falling in the most deprived groups with some positive recommendations for action. Legislation, working on commercial determinants, community wealth building & more @theGCPH @gerrymccartney1 #GCPHSem20
