Abstract:
The fifth edition of The Economics of Health Reconsidered continues to challenge the reliance on market forces to address health policy issues, and it argues instead for the value of government intervention. By critically examining economic theory as applied to the healthcare sector, the authors encourage readers to question the assumptions on which the perceived success of the competitive-healthcare-market model is based.Like its previous editions, this thoroughly updated text focuses on how the unique characteristics of healthcare challenge the effectiveness of traditional economic remedies. Chapters explore demand and supply, as well as equity, expenditures, international comparisons, and economic evaluations. Traditional mainstream economics is discussed throughout the book, and a full chapter summarizes intermediate microeconomic theory.The theories and perspectives in The Economics of Health Reconsidered illustrate how the government plays a crucial role in making the healthcare sector not only more equitable but also more efficient.
