Contents Overview -- A bit of history -- Economic forces, clinical constraints -- Fiscal scarcity: challenging fidelity -- The limits and obligations of fidelity: resource use -- The obligations and limits of fidelity: physicians' professional services -- The new medical ethics of medicine's new economics Summary In this volume, Dick Bryan examines the influence of the international economy upon domestic accumulation, describing the process as the expression of the contradiction between the international scope of accumulation and the national scope of its regulation.
