This book goes back to the origins of the transformation of health
and medicine into a business, during the first part of the
twentieth century, focusing on the example of Japan. In the past
hundred years, medicine has gone from being a charitable activity
to a large economic sector, amounting to 12-15% of the GDP in many
developed countries, and one of the fastest-growing businesses
around the world. Despite the mounting presence of the medical
industry, there is a lack of academic work detailing this major
transformation. The objective of this book is to fill this gap and
address the following question: how did medicine become a business?
Using over ten years of research in the field, Pierre-Yves Donze
argues that economic factors and business factors were decisive in
transforming the way that medicine enters our lives. This book will
be of interest to historians of medicine, business historians,
health economists, scholars in medical humanities, and more.
