"This book considers the historical development of Western models of health care from 1500 to the present day. The authors take an interdisciplinary approach, drawing on recent research in medical and social history, to describe the growth of state involvement in health care culminating in the British welfare state model of the twentieth century. While focusing primarily on the United Kingdom, they also trace the impact of European systems of health care on colonial territories in the past, and note its echoes in the relationship between the advanced economies and the developing world today."--BOOK JACKET.
