Title: Health and Wealth
First published: November 1, 2005
Description: "Today's complex policy problems cannot be understood by the social, medical, and policy sciences alone. History is also required to interpret the present and to inform attempts to mold the future. The essays in this volume seek to bring an historical perspective to bear on today's national and international policy concerns and to present original historical research, which challenges conventional assumptions and viewpoints."--BOOK JACKET.
