The book explores the dual nature of public health as both a moral force and a scientific discipline in modern society. It examines how public health rituals unite people amidst diversity, serving as a replacement for traditional religions. The tension between scientific evidence and the needs of vulnerable populations highlights the challenges faced by underrepresented workers. The author advocates for a collective response to the impacts of capitalism and globalization, emphasizing the need for a redistributive social program to address health and social inequalities.
