Since the 90’s, issues of scarcity, priority setting, and rationing lie at the centre of most current debates on health care. In the case of health care, the three rival values are: social efficiency, justice, and decent-quality care.

'...I find it (the book) to be uncommonly good. The author very carefully analyzes key philosophical positions as they have been applied in this area; the research is very thorough, the writing is clear and engaging. This book could well be used in just about any university course dealing with public health care.' Professor David Novak, University of Toronto, Canada 'One of the most interesting books I have read in a long time ...a very extensive overview of some prominent modern theories of justice and their application to resource distribution in health care. Based on this it raises a number of new and original questions, some of which also receive original and convincing answers.' Professor Soren Holm, Cardiff Law School, UK
