Nemesi medica. L'espropriazione della salute

Condition: Very Good — £754.80
What do the conditions mean?

Our conditions mean the following:

  • New - a brand new book
  • Almost New - appears new but is actually secondhand.
  • Very Good - only minor imperfections such as minor scuffs to edge or cover or a price written in pencil or shop sticker.
  • Standard Secondhand - Clearly been read before, but not too bad. We do not recommend these for gifting. Spines usually creased. Could also include creases or folds to cover, some writing such as in the cover or elsewhere, underlining or highlighting, but might not do. Possibly some stains or marks. Similar in general to books in any secondhand shop or charity shop.
  • Poor Condition - Usually this will have a specific problem such as writing inside, water damage, missing dust jacket, heavy staining, large creases or cuts. These are readable copies but not nice ones. On other websites this condition is called 'Acceptable' or 'Fair' , but we want to be more honest.

Ivan Illich conduce in questo suo libro una serrata analisi critica che demitizza l'istituzione medica. L'estrema medicatizzazione della società e la gestione professionale del dolore e della morte appaiono a Illich come l'esempio paradigmatico di un fenomeno di dimensioni più ampie. La "nemesi medica", cioè la "vendetta", la minaccia per la salute quale conseguenza di una crescita eccessiva dell'organizzazione sanitaria, è infatti solo un aspetto della più generale "nemesi industriale", cioè degli effetti paradossali e delle ricadute negative di uno sviluppo abnorme della tecnologia e dei servizi. Scritto nel 1976, questo libro è oggi considerato un classico del moderno pensiero radicale.
