"Offering a refreshing analytic awareness of the constitutive
'neoliberal' effect on health care, Health Matters not only
challenges the status quo, but is inspirational of social change;
it reveals the systemic problems. Health Matters focuses on
demonstrating how critical health research fills specific lacunae
in contemporary health knowledge, thereby offering new and needed
insights and inspiration for efforts to change the organization of
Canadian health care, making it a serious advance in
state-of-the-art research."--Marie Campbell, Professor Emerita,
Faculty of Human and Social Development, University of Victoria
" Health Matters offers a number of timely, interesting, and useful
critiques of trends in clinical practice, research, and management
practices."--William Magee, Department of Sociology, University of
