Opis

This book draws on Austrian Economics to provide a theoretical framework to support greater involvement of the private sector to improve inefficiencies in public healthcare.

Recenzje

"Łukasz Jasiński explains flawed public health systems and presents the merits of a genuine market approach. A major innovation is his elaboration of health insurance from an Austrian School perspective."

– Robert P. Murphy, economist and co-author of The Primal Prescription: Surviving the "Sick Care" Sinkhole

"Austrian Economics is a perspective and a methodology that takes the "dismal" out of the so-called "dismal science." More rigorously than any other school of thought, it brings Economics alive with insights about human action, markets, incentives, prices and production. Łukasz Jasiński’s analysis of an issue important to all of us—our health care—is greatly enhanced by his application of the Austrian framework. Anyone who desires to improve health care for everyone should start by reading this book. Your life may someday depend on it."

-Lawrence W. Reed, president emeritus, Foundation for Economic Education--Atlanta, Georgia, USA
