Morire di classe
Morire di Classe (Dying Because of Class) is a seminal work that explores the intersection of healthcare, socioeconomic status, and mortality. This work delves into how class disparities significantly affect access to healthcare services, the quality of care received, and ultimately, health outcomes. The book is often cited in discussions about social determinants of health, a concept that highlights how socioeconomic factors such as income, education, and employment impact an individual's health.
Overview[edit | edit source]
Morire di Classe sheds light on the stark realities faced by individuals from lower socioeconomic backgrounds. It argues that these individuals are more likely to experience poorer health outcomes, have higher mortality rates, and face significant barriers to accessing healthcare services. The book uses a combination of statistical data, case studies, and theoretical analysis to illustrate how systemic inequalities perpetuate health disparities.
Themes[edit | edit source]
The primary themes of Morire di Classe include:
- Health Inequities: The book examines how systemic structures and policies create unequal health outcomes for people based on their socioeconomic status.
- Access to Healthcare: It discusses the barriers that people from lower socioeconomic groups face in accessing healthcare, including financial barriers, lack of insurance, and geographical limitations.
- Social Determinants of Health: Morire di Classe emphasizes the role of social determinants in shaping health outcomes, arguing that addressing these determinants is crucial for improving public health.
Impact[edit | edit source]

It has become a foundational text in the study of health disparities and is frequently referenced in academic and policy discussions on the topic.
