“Health Impacts of the Economic Collapse”
Dr. Stephen Bezruchka
July 19, 2009
Sermon Summary
The consistent and unexpected finding in rich countries is that health, as
measured by death rates for the whole society, improves more during economic
hard times than during booms. The reasons have to do with there being more
time for relationships, friends and family, and especially children, when we are not
busy working at two or three jobs and putting in lots of overtime.
