Reviews

Market-Based Health Care engages the critical question of the role of private markets in health care from positive and normative perspectives, and offers substantial engagement with important issues of fairness, choice, and universal access. The combination of health institutions, economic theory, and real-world critiques of economic theory is a useful and clear way to approach this important topic. -- Michael Ash, University of Massachusetts, Amherst
