Reviews / Votes
"Original voices are rare. Rudolf Klein has been a startling and important explicator of health policy and social services. His is still the most original voice in chronicling and critiquing the politics of the British health service. His forays into other systems, notably the U.S. system, have been equally provocative. Why do we have the systems we have? Why can we not agree on one way of organizing services and stick with it? Read Rudolf Klein and see." - Rosemary StevensMore details
