Review Quotes:
'[T]he originality of this book is located in its thoroughgoing dismantling of the health and social care system. Little escapes Brown and Baker's examination. [...] [A] a refreshing departure from traditional economic and political accounts of neoliberalism.' --Cherry M. Miller, 'Political Studies Review'
