Description for Market Menagerie
Hardback. Market Menagerie addresses the tensions between economic and social policies. This book explores how states, markets, and other institutions interact within the health industry--using India as a primary case study. Num Pages: 344 pages, black & white tables. BIC Classification: KCD; KNDP. Category: (G) General (US: Trade). Dimension: 5817 x 3887 x 712. Weight in Grams: 456.
Market Menagerie examines technological advance and market regulation in the health industries of nations such as India, Brazil, South Africa, Nigeria, and Japan. Pharmaceutical and life science industries can reinforce economic development and industry growth, but not necessarily positive health outcomes. Yet well-crafted industrial and health policies can strengthen each other and reconcile economic and social goals. This book advocates moving beyond traditional market failure to bring together three uncommonly paired themes: the growth of industrial capabilities, the politics of health access, and the geography of production and redistribution.
