Review
Victor Fuchs is the most perspicacious, prolific, influential and durable of the small cadre of economists who founded the field of health economics. Who Shall Live? created something of a sensation when it was first published. Its messages resonate today, and it behooves anyone seriously interested in health and health care to devour its wisdom. Prof Fuchs continues to offer new ideas, filled with insight, that demand attention from America's health care policy makers. His analysis of health reform and his comprehensive cure should be required reading for every state and federal legislator, and for every citizen who cares about the future of our country. --Kenneth E Warner, Avedis Donabedian Distinguished University Professor of Public Health, University of Michigan
In this second expanded edition of his classic and seminal book, Victor R Fuchs returns to and expands on themes that have earned him a well-deserved reputation as both a great health economist and the most insightful health policy analyst on the current scene. He provides penetrating discussions of the determinants of health, the forces responsible for the rapid increases in expenditures on health care, and how the factors governing these outcomes have changed in the thirty-seven years since the first edition of Who Shall Live? was published. Six years after it first appeared, his proposal for comprehensive health care reform a universal voucher approach funded by a value-added tax and with freedom for individuals to buy more than the basic care with after-tax dollars remains the most attractive solution to what is perhaps the most vexing problem facing the U.S. economy. --Michael Grossman, Distinguished Professor of Economics, City University of New York Graduate Center and Health Economics Program Director and Research Associate, National Bureau of Economic Research
