ABSTRACT
This chapter does not focus on traditional Health Economics – numerous textbooks exist that promote this way of thinking about the economics of health. Instead, this chapter discusses four alternative, non-neoclassical perspectives which are relevant to global health, namely Keynesian, Political Economy, Feminist, and Ecological perspectives. We use the COVID-19 pandemic as a lens through which to introduce these perspectives, and highlight the insights that they provide, for health inequalities, and planetary health.
