Why are the costs of health care and higher education rising so dramatically? How can we keep them affordable for lower- and middle-income American families? The exploding cost of health care in the United States is a source of widespread alarm. Similarly, the upward spiral of college tuition fees is cause for serious concern. In this concise and illuminating book, the well-known economist William J. Baumol explores the causes of these seemingly intractable problems and offers a surprisingly simple explanation. Baumol identifies the "cost disease" as a major source of rapidly rising costs in service sectors of the economy. Once we understand that disease, he explains, effective responses become apparent. Baumol presents his analysis with characteristic clarity, tracing the fast-rising prices of health care and education in the United States and other major industrial nations, then examining the underlying causes, which have to do with the nature of providing labor-intensive services. The news is good, Baumol reassures us, because the nature of the disease is such that society will be able to afford the rising costs.

La aportaci n principal de este libro es la concientizaci n sobre lo importante que es realizar acciones lejos de alarmarnos y dejar que el problema crezca hasta un punto en que tal vez, ya no haya marcha atr s. Es trascendental que cada uno de nosotros hagamos una aportaci n al planeta, una aportaci n que nos lleve a redimir algo del da o causado o evitar acelerar el proceso de deviene en el que nos encontramos. Ser a devastador acabar como el protagonista de esta serie. Se trata de actuar desde donde nos encontremos no solo con pancartas y conversaciones de inconformidad. Sino con acciones, con una actitud mejor, tender la mano a quien lo necesite, con una nueva era del hombre en la que se preocupe por lo que sucede dejando atr?'s el individualismo y la indiferencia. Una era en la que se vislumbre una direcci n consciente como especie. Todos podemos aportar algo para que la evoluci n humana contin e su curso de forma positiva de manera que nuestra sociedad tambi n funcione para el planeta. "somos una especie que devora todo y no aportamos nada"
