MEDICINE, NURSING AND THE STATE
David Coburn, Susan Rappolt, Ivy Borgeault and Jan Angus
This book locates the shifting inter-relationships of the Health System and
the State as part of fundamental changes in the Canadian political economy.
All health care professions are being transformed by the attack on the
welfare state. Nursing is challenging medical power, yet faces powerful
internal barriers and external constraints. State actions themselves are not
simply emanations from the interests of state actors, and must be
specifically described and understood. Medicine, Nursing and the State
contextualizes state-health care policy within the burgeoning literature on
globalization and the rise of business hegemony.

********************************************************************
Long have I looked for the truth about the life of people together.
That life is crisscrossed, tangled, and difficult to understand.
I have worked hard to understand it and when I had done so
I told the truth as I found it.
- Bertolt Brecht
