Contributors to this volume considers whether health inequalities are a result of global distributive inequalities and are therefore of concern to those promoting global redistributive justice.

> The impact of climate change
> The social determinants of health outcomes
> The effects of pharmaceutical legislation--and international bad practices more generally--on securing access to life-saving drugs in the developing world
