Marketisation, Ethics and Healthcare

Abstract

Weaving together original contributions from law, ethics, theology and economics, this book provides many fresh insights into the vexed questions surrounding markets and healthcare -an integrative tour de force!' Professor Bill Fulford, University of Oxford , UK 'Healthcare marketisation generates superheated controversy. But here is the cool consideration and balanced debate that is needed as a response. This collection is multifaceted, analytically rich and packed with insights.' Professor Alan Cribb, King's College London , UK 'Markets make good servants but bad masters. But what forms of service can they perform and what evils of mastery do they threaten? These wide-ranging essays address those questions in politically and theologically challenging ways.' Professor Albert Weale , UCL , UK 'A signifi cant contribution to bioethics. The topic is timely, the writing brief and clear, and the ideas insightful. It is very balanced, incorporating many perspectives (from Hayek to Marx), and many disciplines (including medicine, economics, philosophy, and theology). I highly recommend it.'
