Reviews

Money and Medicine weaves a clear, unified narrative about the rise of national health care systems and medical spending over time that will be of great interest to readers in health care and economics alike. -- David Cutler, Otto Eckstein Professor of Applied Economics, Harvard University Political debates about health care almost always come down to money. There is no one better than Tom Getzen to explain how nations count up what they spend on health care, to peer into the future to understand where spending is heading, and to dissect why the United States is such an outlier when it comes to health expenditures. -- Larry Levitt, Executive Vice President for Health Policy, Kaiser Family Foundation The founder of the International Health Economics Association takes a characteristically bold and ambitious view of the evolution of healthcare spending. His book reflects a lifetime of research and scholarship, having a historical and geographic sweep that brings fascinating details together with rigorous statistical evidence to highlight the macroeconomic and historical dimensions of the economics of health care. -- Andrew M. Jones, Department of Economics and Related Studies, University of York Professor Getzen offers a surprisingly personal and engaging survey of the history of health care expenditures. Taking a panoramic tour across time and space illuminates the co-transformations of the health care sector and the modern nation state. He brings to the table every relevant scrap of evidence, and then-refreshingly, with humility--highlights the limits to what we can know, and we can say, about the future as it unfolds. -- Chapin White, Deputy Director, Health Analysis Division, Congressional Budget Office Global growth in health spending by people and their governments means more of our money will be headed into the world's inscrutable health systems. Getzen's mastery of the subject across time and space is a gift to everyone who wants health dollars to achieve value, fairness, and health for all. -- David Bishai, MD MPH PhD, Professor, Johns Hopkins University This book has been a major project for a number of years. I cannot think of any source documenting the key influences on health expenditure in more detail, with such a large number of citations. Much of the research for the book was conducted during the period during which Tom was establishing the International Health Economics Association (IHEA). That enduring professional society and this book will be his legacy. -- Michael Drummond, Professor of Health Economics, University of York
