tailieunhanh - The Dictionary of Health Economics

This is a book serving the second of these two kinds of knowledge, a book that I have intended that the reader should be able to dip into from time to time. I hope it may also serve that other thing with which knowledge is so often mistaken: understanding. If one’s appetite is whetted, as I hope may occasionally be the case, there are loads of decent texts that provide solid main courses and desserts. | The Dictionary of Health Economics Anthony J.
