Abstract: Abstract To make clear what is new, one must first summarise the old – in this case, what one takes to be the ‘old economics’ of child health and survival. Essentially, the old view rested on three propositions: First, that child health and survival was closely related with household income, especially family poverty; Secondly, that improvements in health depended on increases in health services and thus on expenditure on health services.
