Capitalism and Medicine: A History
Across fifteen chapters, this book examines how the rise of capitalism has shaped the American medical profession from 1492 to the present. In addition to an analysis of the overtly capitalistic aspects of the American medicine and healthcare, this book examines how medical professionals adapted their profession to the large scale changes wrought by the development of capitalism from the slave trade through industrialization and into late stage capitalism.
