This has important ramifications for the analysis and valuation of care, and therefore for the pattern of health and medical care provision. This book sets out an alternative approach, which places care at the center of an economics of health, showing how essential it is that care is appropriately recognized in policy as a means of enhancing the dignity of the individual.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhereas traditional health economics has tended to eschew value issues, this book embraces them, introducing care as a normative element at the center of theoretical analysis. Drawing upon care theory from feminist works, philosophy, nursing and medicine, and political economy, the authors develop a health \u003ci\u003ecare \u003c\/i\u003eeconomics with a moral basis in health care systems. In providing deeper insights into the nature of care and caring, this book seeks to redress the shortcomings of the standard approach and contribute to the development of a more person-based approach to health and medical care in economics.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eHealth \u003c\/em\u003eCare\u003cem\u003e Economics \u003c\/em\u003ewill be of interest to researchers and postgraduate students in health economics, heterodox economists, and those interested in health and medical care.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJohn B.
