How can we make society more resilient to outbreaks and avoid forcing the poor and working class to bear the brunt of their harm?

When an epidemic outbreak occurs, the most physical and financial harm historically falls upon the people who can least afford it: the economically and socially marginalized. Where people live and work, how they commute and socialize, and more have a huge impact on the risks we bear during an outbreak. In The Rich Flee and the Poor Take the Bus, economist Troy Tassier examines examples ranging from the 430 BCE plague of Athens to the COVID-19 pandemic to demonstrate why marginalized groups bear the largest burden of epidemic costs—and how to avoid these systemic failures in the future.

The links between epidemics and social issues—such as inequality, discrimination, and financial insecurity—are not always direct or clear. Tassier reveals truths hidden in plain sight, from the way population density statistics can be misleading to the often-misunderstood differences between risk and uncertainty. The disproportionate harm experienced by marginalized individuals is not the product of their own decisions; instead, the collective choices of society and the tangled web of interactions across people and communities leave these groups most exposed to the perils of epidemics.

However, there is reason to hope. Utilizing a wealth of economic and population data, Tassier argues that we can leverage lessons learned from historic and recent outbreaks to design better economic and social policies and more just institutions to protect everyone in society when inevitable future epidemics arrive.

如何让社会更能抵御流行病的爆发，并避免迫使穷人和工人阶级承受其损害的最大份额？ 当出现流行病爆发时，历史上最严重的身体和经济损失总是落在那些最无力承担的人身上：经济上和社会上的边缘群体。人们居住的地方、工作的地方、他们通勤的方式以及社交活动都有很大影响，在这种时期我们所承担的风险。经济学家托里·塔西尔在《富人逃离，穷人乘坐公交车》一书中研究了从公元前430年的雅典瘟疫到2019冠状病毒大流行的例子，以证明被边缘化群体承受了最大的流行病成本负担的原因，以及如何在未来避免这些系统的失败。 流行病和社会问题（如不平等、歧视和财务不稳定）之间的联系并不总是直接或清晰的。塔西尔揭示了隐藏在人们面前的事实，从人口密度统计数据可能会误导到风险与不确定性的区别常被误解。边缘群体所承受不成比例的伤害并不是他们自己做出决定的结果；相反，社会集体的选择以及人际和社会之间错综复杂的关系使这些团体最容易遭受流行病带来的威胁。 然而，还是有希望的。利用大量的经济和人口数据，塔西尔认为我们可以从历史上的流行病爆发和最近的流行病中吸取教训，设计出更好的经济和社会政策和更加公正的制度，在不可避免的未来流行病到来时能够保护社会中的每一个人。
