In this devastating critique, internationally renowned health economist Gavin Mooney spotlights the political economy of health care. He also reveals how too little is done to address the social determinants of health. Using numerous case studies, this provocative book makes a compelling case for the need to re-evaluate how we approach health and health care globally. 606 $aMedical economics 606 $aHealth Policy$xeconomics 606 $aPolitics 606 $aState Medicine$xeconomics 606 $aPublic health & preventive medicine$2bicssc 615 0$aMedical economics. 615 12$aHealth Policy$xeconomics. 615 22$aPolitics. 615 22$aState Medicine$xeconomics. 615 7$aPublic health & preventive medicine 676 $a338.433621 700 $aMooney$b Gavin$0121776 801 0$bEBLCP 801 1$bCaBNVSL 801 2$bCaBNVSL 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910810413503321 996 $aThe health of nations$94002724 997 $aUNINA
