What have been the roles of charities and the state in supporting
medical provision? These are issues of major relevance, as the
assumptions and practices of the welfare state are increasingly
thrown into doubt. This title offers a broad perspective on the
relationship between charity and medicine in Western Europe, up to
the advent of welfare states in the 20th century. Through detailed
case studies, the authors highlight significant differences between
Britain, France, Italy and Germany, and offer a critical vocabulary
for grasping the issues raised. This volume reflects recent
developments relating to the role of charity in medicine,
particularly the revival of interest in the place of voluntary
provision in contemporary social policy. It emphasizes the changing
balance of "care" and "cure" as the aim of medical charity, and
shows how economic and political factors influenced the various
forms of charity.
