* How have health, illness and medicine been affected by social
change? * What are the implications of disorganized capitalism,
neo-liberalism and the 'Third Way' for health and healing? * How
important are class, gender and ethnic relations for health care
reforms and the distribution of health? Health and Social Change
offers a clear and incisive examination of the social changes that
have affected capitalist societies, and their ramifications for
health and for systems of healing. It reviews the major paradigms
of medical sociology and considers theories of the 'postmodern
turn'. The author draws on critical realism and critical theory to
demonstrate the significance of the shift from organized to
disorganized capitalism for health care reform, in particular in
Britain and the USA; for the present widening of health
inequalities; and for people's use of popular, folk and
professional forms of healing. He goes on to examine the role of a
critical sociology and its necessary relationship to civil society
and deliberative democracy. The result is an engaging and
thought-provoking text for students, researchers and professionals
interested in health and social change.
