"This book would be an excellent choice for anyone wishing to be introduced to the field of health economics - it is undoubtedly the best 'Health Economics 101' textbook around ... There is a desperate need for a greater understanding of health economics principles among health system policy-makers, managers and researchers; this book will contribute enormously to developing such understanding."
