Die Gesundheitsgesellschaft

Health is a crucial part of our quality of life. This book focuses on the central role that health plays in modern societies. It describes the new active understanding of health and explains the radical reorientation and redesign that become necessary as a result. Additionally, it addresses the paradoxes, ambivalences, and inequalities that we encounter in our daily health experiences. Health is becoming ubiquitous, and the current healthcare system is becoming a secondary concern when it comes to maintaining health. Therefore, a new health policy is needed that truly deserves the name. This involves not only new strategies but also a discussion about the values and ethical foundations of a health-oriented society. Citizens, politics, and the market must collaborate in new ways to enable sustainable health.
