Weindling, Paul
"This rich, engaging, and highly innovative volume places the
"mixed economy of health care"—the interplay of public, private,
and philanthropic interests in the provision of health care—at the
center of health care history. Moving from the 17th century through
the late 20th century and traversing Britain, Europe, the U.S., and
South Africa, Healthcare in Private and Public from the Early
Modern Period to 2000 will be a welcome and refreshing addition to
undergraduate syllabi in the history of medicine."Dominique

Tobbell, University of Minnesota, USA"Curated, edited, introduced,
and concluded by renowned medical historian Paul Weindling, this
volume is a collection of insightful, carefully crafted essays by a
group of cutting-edge UK scholars. With a primary emphasis on the
UK, North America, and Western Europe, contributors explore what
can be characterized as a 'mixed economy of healthcare,' i.e., the
interrelationships among governmental, private/philanthropic, and
marketplace-driven dynamics of providing populations with health
care. Summing Up: Recommended. All readership levels." I. Richman,
emeritus, Pennsylvania State University, Harrisburg Campus, CHOICE
