Great to see this welcome addition to the political economy of health literature; but I was surprised not to see a contribution from the world-leading Barcelona group led by Professor Joan Benach (not to mention Vicente Navarro, whose name is synonymous with PEH, and Carlos Muntaner)

> Critics' Reviews:
> 
> ‘A smorgasbord of insights into the world of healthcare, it is a celebration of the very best of political economy with its capacity to make sense of economic and social issues with immediate relevance for the health and well-being of humans.’-  Fran Collyer, Professor of Sociology, University of Wollongong, and President RC08 International Sociological Association
> 
> ‘This book, containing a commendably broad array of chapters by international experts, takes stock of these main strands of research and the insights they offer. Right up-to-date, it looks at the key political economic lessons from the COVID-19 pandemic. Looking to the future, it identifies what changes to political economic arrangements would be conducive to creating healthy societies. It is an eye-opener and a must-read.’ - Frank Stilwell, Emeritus Professor of Political Economy, University of Sydney
> 
> ‘This handbook is a vital contribution to our understanding of an impressive range of topics and critical perspectives. It diagnoses urgent shortcomings in the current system and offers constructive approaches for reducing health harms.’ - Susan K. Sell, Professor of Regulation and Global Governance, Australian National University, and Emeritus Professor of Political Science and International Affairs, George Washington University.
> ‘The Routledge Handbook of the Political Economy of Health and Healthcare makes a superb contribution to the necessary and inevitable literature of what went wrong with the institutions responsible for the COVID-19 crisis.’ -  Robert Chernomas, Professor of Economics, University of Manitoba.
