"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
