Thomas Rice applies economic analysis to show that excessive trust in the market leads to coverage gaps and inequalities in access, as well as higher costs and lower efficiency.
Based on the conclusions of economic theory, free from the deadlock of traditional modeling, he establishes policy conclusions. In response to the question "how much state and how much market?" he highlights the risks of a health policy that overly relies on the market, as seen in the U.S.
Rice's book essentially renews our confidence in the ability of economic science to contribute to a better understanding of the problems of social organization and to propose solutions.
