The American Way is incompatible with the U.S. experience of
post-World War II capitalism. National and individual
self-determination are collapsing in the face of profit-seeking,
social compulsions, and the imperatives of global competition. Iain
Hay states that the illusion of free choice and the misguided
rhetoric of individualism remain: they mask new realities of
compulsion and collectivism. This cultural contradiction is
thoroughly analyzed by Hay from an unusual, outside perspective
through an investigation of the development of medical liability
insurance and its implications for tort law reform and health care
provision in the United States.
"Money, Medicine, and Malpractice in American Society"
transcends traditional disciplinary boundaries to provide a
straightforward account of circumstances giving rise to particular
forms of legal, medical, and social regulation in the United
States. Hay explores the roots of change in medical and legal
regulation in the United States through an inquiry into medical
malpractice and health care costs in the ever-changing domestic and
worldwide arena. It provides the first comprehensive association of
American medical liability issues, health care spending, and
post-War national and international contexts. This book will be of
particular interest to scholars, students, and doctors as it
provides a useful framework for understanding legal and medical
change associated with medical liability and its insurance.
