The Cost Disease: Why Computers Get Cheaper and Health Care Doesn'tYale University Press, 2012 - 249 pagina's Why are the costs of health care and higher education rising so dramatically? How can we keep them affordable for lower- and middle-income American families? Baumol presents his analysis with characteristic clarity, tracing the fast-rising prices of health care and education in the United States and other major industrial nations, then examining the underlying causes, which have to do with the nature of providing labor-intensive services. The news is good, Baumol reassures us, because the nature of the disease is such that society will be able to afford the rising costs. |
