    Libertarianism

    In this episode, we look at what Libertarianism has to say about health equity with our guests, Dr. Jess Flanigan and Michael Cannon. Libertarianism is a core part of American discourse, but can be absent from public health discourse, which is why this is one of our most important episodes.

    In this episode, we consider Effective Altruism, the cool younger brother of Utilitarianism. Effective Altruism provides another lens through which to consider what health equity demands of us, and leads to some interesting conclusions when thinking about American inequities in a global context. This episode features interviews with Dr. Brian Berkey of the University of Pennsylvania, and Jack Lewars of OneForTheWorld.

    Utilitarianism

    Join us for our first deep dive on an ethical framework with Utilitarianism, the invisible foundation of much of our modern world, including healthcare and public health. In this episode, we talk with Dr. Michael Quinn and Dr. Chris Riley, two of the world's leading experts on Utilitarianism and its patron saint, Jeremy Bentham. We also trace Bentham's thinking to contemporary challenges in health equity.
