The Political Economy of Health
The Political Economy of Health is a unique book about health politics. Doyal and Pennell have successfully integrated theory and practice in their exploration of the changing patterns of health and illness and the evolution of medical practice in Britain and the Third World. They emphasize the relationship between imperialism, medicine and underdevelopment. They also discuss in detail the problems of socialized medicine under capitalism, and take a close look at medical ideology's contribution to women's oppression.
