This book mounts a critique of current health economics and
provides a better way of looking at the economics of health and
health care. It argues that health economics has been too dominated
by the economics of health care and has largely ignored the impact
of poverty, inequality, poor housing, and lack of education on
health. It is suggested that some of the structural issues of
economies, particularly the individualism of neo liberalism which
is becoming more and more pervasive across the globe, need to be
addressed in health economics.
The author instead proposes a form of collective decision making
through communitarianism, placing value on participation in public
life and on institutions, such as health care. It is envisaged this
form of decision making can be used at the local, national or
global levels. For the last, this would mean a major revamp of
global institutions like the World Bank and the IMF. Examples of
the impact of the new paradigm on health policy in general but also
more specifically on priority setting and equity are included.
