It is hard to overstate the profound influence of international
corporations on global health—from tobacco, alcohol and food to
injuries and occupational safety. The most fundamental problem in a
globalized world is how to govern corporations and hold them
accountable. In their brilliant book, Kenworthy, MacKenzie and Lee
unmask the influence corporations have on human health and offer
innovative solutions for transparency and good governance. If
scholars and health advocates want to truly understand the complex
intersection between corporations and health, this book is
essential reading.
