Conclusion IndexReviews'Too often health economics proceeds without serious consideration of the concrete challenges of health policy.David Reisman's new book does just the opposite: it starts with those challenges and shows what the economics of health care must be to address them. This makes the economics of health care inseparable from the ethics of health care. This book is highly recommended for clear and sensible thinking about the economics of health policy.' -- John Davis, Marquette University, US and University of Amsterdam, the Netherlands Author InformationDavid Reisman, Professor Emeritus of Economics, University of Surrey, UK and Senior Associate, Centre for Liberal Arts and Social Sciences, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore Tab Content 6Author Website:Countries AvailableAll regions |
