本文提出了一个案例，需要与公共卫生的社会正义的承诺相一致的基本语言。在研究了人类需求的问题，因为它已经被概念化的历史，本文认为，需要的问题-在现代福利国家的核心关注-本质上是政治性的。两种方式的概念化的需要，占主导地位的最近的话语需要-即治疗语言的需要和权利的谈话-进行检查，发现是不满意的捕获的意义上的需要和他们的定义和仲裁是中央的社会生活。公共卫生所需要的是一种需要的语言，这种语言表明了共同体的互惠和相互依存;这种语言可以在“相互依存的道德经济”中找到。本文最后讨论了什么是相互依存的道德经济，作为一种语言的需要与公共卫生的目标相一致，可能看起来像。
This paper presents a case for an underlying language of need consistent with public health's commitment to social justice. After examining the problem of human need as it has been conceptualised historically, this paper argues that the problems of needs – a central concern in the modern welfare state – are inherently political. Two ways of conceptualizing need which have dominated the recent discourse on need – namely a therapeutic language of need and rights talk – are examined and found to be unsatisfactory in capturing the sense in which needs and their definition and arbitration are central to the life of the community. What is required for public health is a language of need which speaks to the reciprocity and interdependence which characterise community; such a language is to be found in a “moral economy of interdependence”. The paper concludes by discussing what a moral economy of interdependence, as a language of need consistent with the aims of public health, might look like.
