The Economics of Health Reconsidered, Third Edition
This edition of The Economics of Health Reconsidered represents a timely and thoughtful examination of economics and U.S. health policy. It should be considered required reading for serious students of health policy. --Sara Rosenbaum, JD, Harold and Jane Hirsh Professor of Health Law and Policy, Chair of the Department of Health Policy, The George Washington University School of Public Health and Health ServicesThe first two editions of this text were ground breaking, and the third edition continues this tradition. The authors offer a unique perspective on issues surrounding and underlying health economics. An ideal stand-alone text, the book includes new chapters on microeconomic theory, profit versus nonprofit organizations, and labor and health economics. The text is excellent, and I recommend it to all those new to health economics, and most of those who are not. --Bruce Hollingsworth, Professor and Director, Centre for Health Economics, Monash University, Australia"Earlier editions of this book were genuine path breakers. This updated and broadened edition maintains that role and its international accessible tone. This book is excellent teaching material and should be read by anyone interested in the economics of health care - and today, who isn't?" --Gavin Mooney, Professor of Health Economics, University of Sydney and University of Cape Town
