This book illuminates how crucial transformations in medical
politics and organization were linked to wider changes in society,
economy and ideology. Paying particular attention to developments
in medical welfare for physically handicapped children, wounded
soldiers and injured workers, this documented study challenges
conventional accounts of medical specialization, provides
Anglo-American comparisons and demonstrates the importance for
medical modernity of changing interactions between philanthropy,
war, labour, capital and the state.
