The twentieth century saw sweeping changes in health care worldwide, from pharmaceuticals, to new technologies, to increasing health care costs in industrialised nations. These essays examine costs and profits in relation to just health care, the often controversial practices of pharmaceutical companies, and corruption in the professional practice of medicine.
