This course focuses on well-being throughout the world, with special emphasis on income and health. It examines what has happened to poverty, inequality, and health, in the U.S., and internationally. We will discuss conceptual foundations of national and global measures of inequality, poverty, and health; construction of measures, and the extent to which they can be trusted; and the relationship between globalization, poverty, and health, historically and currently. We will examine links between health and income, and why poor people are less healthy and live less long than rich people.
