More copies of this ISBNThe Gift Relationship: From Human Blood to Social Policyby Richard M. Titmuss
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Acknowledged as one of the classic texts on social policy, Richard M. Titmuss's study of blood donating raises profound economic, political, and philosophical questions. This updated edition contains the original text along with a series of essays by editors and experts in the field, applying Titmuss's theories to contemporary problems such as AIDS and the privatization of health care. 388 pp.
Book News Annotation:Studies blood donating in England and the US, raising profound economic, social, political, and philosophical questions. Contrasts the British systems of reliance on voluntary donors to the American one in which the blood supply is largely in the hands of for-profit enterprises, and shows how a nonmarket system based on altruism is more effective. First published in 1970, this new edition retains the original text and adds new chapters on the impact of AIDS, recent developments in blood donation, and systems for human milk donation. For general readers interested in social policy.
