This topical collection by eminent scholars examines the growing role of private markets in the provision and finance of health and welfare services in six western countries - Britain, France, Italy, Sweden, Canada and the US - and three Central European countries - Hungary, Poland and Slovenia.

The services covered include domiciliary and residential services for elderly and disabled people, housing and a varied range of health services.
