The analytical approach of standard health economics has so far
failed to sufficiently account for the nature of care. This has
important ramifications for the analysis and valuation of care, and
therefore for the pattern of health and medical care provision.
This book sets out an alternative approach, which places care at
the center of an economics of health, showing how essential it is
that care is appropriately recognized in policy as a means of
enhancing the dignity of the individual. Whereas traditional health
economics has tended to eschew value issues, this book embraces
them, introducing care as a normative element at the center of
theoretical analysis. Drawing upon care theory from feminist works,
philosophy, nursing and medicine, and political economy, the
authors develop a health care economics with a moral basis in
health care systems. In providing deeper insights into the nature
of care and caring, this book seeks to redress the shortcomings of
the standard approach and contribute to the development of a more
person-based approach to health and medical care in economics.
Health Care Economics will be of interest to researchers and
postgraduate students in health economics, heterodox economists,
and those interested in health and medical care.
