Description

 Most discussions of health care center on medical advances, cost, and the roles of insurers and government agencies.

With The Grey Zone of Health and Illness, Alan Blum offers a new perspective, outlining a highly nuanced theoretical approach to health and health care alike.

Drawing on a range of thinkers, Blum explains how our current understanding of health care tends to posit it as a sort of state of permanent emergency, like the nuclear standoff of the Cold War.

To move beyond that, he argues, will require a complete rethinking of health and sickness, self-governance and negligence.

A heady, cutting-edge intervention in a critical area of society, The Grey Zone of Health and Illness will have wide ramifications in the academy and beyond.
