The New Politics of Medicine cover

A new politics of medicine is emerging from the changing relationship between medicine, society and the state. It is characterized by informed health consumers, an interventionist state, and a mobilized medical profession.

Yet the continuities of its re-energized institutions remain intact and with them the sustaining realities of medical power.
