Originally published in 1984, this book attempted to fill a gap by
providing a broad-ranging structural analysis of the health care
sector and the political and economic forces which influence its
shape and contents, both in the western world and developing
countries. The contributors examine the relationships of capitalism
to health care, in terms of its influence on the physical
environment, the incidence of social diseases and the prevailing
(20th Century) view of what constitutes health itself; and in terms
of the consequences of the new medical industrial complex it has
created, such as the declining provision of health care for the
poor and disadvantaged and the growing power of the pharmaceutical
industry.
