Health, Politics, and Ethics - an essential combination
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago
Dan Beauchamp is a political scientist who understands that politics and ethics are essential determinants of public health. More specifically, Beauchamp clarifies why "more speech" and "more privacy" are essential to resolution of the most pressing life-style health problems facing contemporary societies. The public health will not be advanced by the simple expenditure of funds....and will not be resolved absent the active participation of citizens in public debate over values and politics. This book presents a different view of health issues, a view sadly missing in present day health care debates.
