"Curated, edited, introduced, and concluded by renowned medical historian Paul Weindling, this volume is a collection of insightful, carefully crafted essays by a group of cutting-edge UK scholars. With a primary emphasis on the UK, North America, and Western Europe, contributors explore what can be characterized as a 'mixed economy of healthcare,' i.e., the interrelationships among governmental, private/philanthropic, and marketplace-driven dynamics of providing populations with health care. Summing Up: Recommended. All readership levels."
