Power and Illness

Discover the compelling insights of Power and Illness by Daniel M. Fox, published by the University of California Press in 1995. This thought-provoking book spans 192 pages and delves into the historical context of American health policy, which has predominantly focused on treating acute conditions rather than preventing and managing chronic illnesses.

Fox presents a powerful argument for a transformative shift in national health care priorities, challenging readers to reconsider the prevailing ideas surrounding illness and health care delivery. With a focus on the implications of these policies on society, Power and Illness is an essential read for anyone interested in health systems, sociology, and the future of medical care in the United States.
