Who Shall Live?

In this classic book, Professor Victor Fuchs draws on his deep understanding of the strengths and limitations of economics and his intimate knowledge of health care institutions to help readers understand the problems every nation faces in trying to allocate health resources efficiently and equitably. Six complementary papers dealing with national health insurance,poverty and health, and other policy issues, including his 1996 presidential address to the American Economic Association, accompany the original 1974 text.
