This contribution draws attention to the long prehistory of discussions of inequalities in health and health care. It points to a polarisation of attitudes that was rooted in the work of Chadwick and Engels. Since that date, the issue of inequality periodically assumed a high profile. This paper examines the main characteristics of the debates on inequalities that took place during the Edwardian period, during the inter-war depression and during the 1970s. It is suggested that these represent distinct phases in the argument, each being characterised by a response from the public health bureaucracy that was conditioned by the political circumstances of the time. It is concluded that the renewed concern over inequalities in the 1970s reflected the general radicalisation of opinion that occurred at this period of acute economic crisis. |
