Olsen J: Principles in Health Economics
and Policy

Principles in Health Economics and Policy

Timely lessons for today's health and climate crises rooted in one of the earliest cases of government's provision for the common goodThe question of whether a government should take care of its people--preparing and investing in public health, welfare, and resilience policies--is arguably more important today than ever, as the world faces unprecedented climate and health crises.Commonwealth's exploration of the Venetian Republic--one of the oldest and most enduring in history--establishes for the first time that this state developed welfare policies not in response to the plague, as is commonly thought, but two centuries earlier. Alexander More reveals that the lawmakers of Venice took advantage of an economic revival to provide free medical assistance for their population. The Republic also inspected and guaranteed the quality and availability of food, water, and medicine, even when sudden climatic changes caused harvests to fail and supply chains to shift.Through original archival research in multiple languages, More shows that the welfare state of the Venetian Republic, which influenced key modern examples, took shape through deliberate efforts to work toward the common good. Readers interested in the history of medicine and public health, food security, welfare, economic history, climate science, and law will benefit from new insights into the origin and nature of commonwealth in society.Georgetown University Press gratefully acknowledges the support of a publishing grant from Furthermore, a program of the J. M. Kaplan Fund.

Giving birth is everyone's business.In this book, midwife and bestselling author Leah Hazard takes us from luxurious birthing suites to maximum-security prisons, from border-town clinics to refugee camps, freebirthing communities to wards dominated by algorithms, showing how childbirth provides a startling lens onto the biggest issues of our time. With clarity and curiosity, Hazard explores how inequality, migration, climate change and political currents are shaping this universal yet intimate human experience, revealing the competing forces that are battling to technologize, moralize, commoditize and dominate the birth space in ways that have already transformed our bodies and our world.In exposing the fragility of modern industrialized maternity care Birth Wars issues a warning and a rallying cry: highlighting the transformative - or destructive - power of this essential act, not only for the person giving birth, but also for the child who bears the lifelong effects of that day, and for society as a whole.

How the financialization of healthcare has eroded the quality of care, driven up prices, and worsened health inequalities Financial actors and healthcare leaders increasingly view healthcare organizations as financial assets to be bought, sold, and managed for maximum profit, regardless of the effects on patient care. Uncovering how the federal government enables financial opportunism in healthcare, Healthcare in the Age of Finance Capital offers bold ideas for overhauling a failed system. Rosemary Batt and Eileen Appelbaum provide a unique analysis of the financialization of healthcare, a process in which a growing proportion of the healthcare economy is owned and controlled by the financial sector. Healthcare organizations increasingly depend on financial machinations and the earnings derived from them rather than revenue generated from patient care. The extent to which financial calculations overshadow the healthcare mission depends importantly on institutional legacies, reimbursement rules, and the failure of regulatory oversight. Batt and Appelbaum show how differences in regulations and financing rules shape whether financial actors can penetrate distinct healthcare segments—from hospitals, nursing homes, and ambulatory care to physician specialties, home health, hospice, and autism services. Nonprofit healthcare is not immune from this financial logic. Evidence-based, accessible, and informed by real-world examples, Healthcare in the Age of Finance Capital sheds critical light on how financial deregulation coupled with the relaxation of health, tax, antitrust, and labor laws have allowed financially driven actors to exploit public funds for private gain at the expense of healthcare organizations, patients, communities, labor, and taxpayers.

World Scientific Lecture Notes In Economics And Policy

This book attempts to understand the operation and properties of 'market economies'. We do this by carefully examining, refining and in some cases extending the major theorems that Microeconomics has established in response to the Walrasian conjecture. We critically evaluate theorems and results, that assert the existence, uniqueness, stability, optimality and empirical relevance of Walrasian equilibrium states. As a result of our work, we attempt to comment on the wisdom of recommending that socio-economic systems operate as a collection of deregulated competitive markets.

The global healthcare landscape is profoundly transformed, driven by technological advancements, demographic shifts, evolving patient expectations, and new economic paradigms.The New Health Economy explores how emerging innovations-such as artificial intelligence (AI), personalized medicine, digital health solutions, and value-based care-reshape healthcare delivery, costs, and accessibility. This book will provide a roadmap for leaders to navigate the future of healthcare while addressing challenges related to ethics, equity, regulation, and sustainability. Drawing upon cutting-edge research, expert insights, and real-world case studies, The New Health Economy presents a compelling vision of healthcare's future and the economic forces driving it. The book blends economic theory with practical solutions, demonstrating how key players-from government agencies and hospitals to startups and Big Tech-are redefining healthcare systems globally. The healthcare industry is at an inflexion point. Traditional models are struggling with rising costs, ageing populations, and the burden of chronic diseases. Meanwhile, innovations in digital health, data analytics, and biotechnology offer unprecedented opportunities to enhance patient outcomes and economic efficiency.This is a timely, research-backed book that provides a comprehensive, forward-thinking guide for navigating the rapid transformations in healthcare. By blending economic analysis with healthcare innovation, it offers readers an invaluable resource for understanding not just where healthcare is going, but how to shape its future.

A Practical Introduction

Agribusiness and Entrepreneurship

Economics is vital, but its labyrinth of equations can make it feel disconnected from the real world. Enter a powerful tool: the metaphor.From longtime economics journalist Peter Coy comes an approachable and fun guide to the metaphors that unlock its power. With nearly 500 alphabetized entries, complemented by playful illustrations, Economics Without Numbers demystifies concepts, exploring their origins, the truths they express, and where they fall short. The result is a delightful and original primer on economic ideas and history that's perfect for students and anyone who wants to understand what makes the world go 'round.Coy has spent decades collecting these vivid metaphors. From "trickle-down economics" (the idea that making the rich richer will help the poor) to "inductivist turkey" (a parable about the perils of assuming that a trend will persist without knowing its cause), Coy brings economics to life.
