This unique work assembles in a readily accessible format an enormous amount of research in the areas of health and health care, within a broadly defined political economy framework. Divided into three sections, it covers homecare, globalization, and the comparisons between the Canadian system and the British National Health Service; research in health services, women, and the pharmaceutical industry; and environmental contamination and poverty.
