Making the link: Health, wellbeing, and the economic and financial crisis in Europe
Economic and financial crises are not new in Europe. Neither is the connection of economic cycles to factors determining population health and wellbeing. Adherents of the teachings of Rudolph Carl Virchow, for example, can quote his work in the mid-19th century which laid the foundation for public health in Germany and coined a well-known aphorism: “Medicine is a social science, and politics is nothing else but medicine on a large scale”
