概要 An economist by education, Rice (health services, U. of California-Los Angeles) argues that economic theory is being used inappropriately to cast health care to the tender mercies of market capitalism... The first edition, published about five years ago, was criticized for being soft on government regulation, so he has added a chapter discussing government failure.
