Textbook New Edition: Who Shall Live? Health, Economics, and Social Choice

Posted by on

“In this classic book, Professor Victor Fuchs draws on his deep understanding of the strengths and limitations of economics and his intimate knowledge of health care institutions to help readers understand the problems every nation faces in trying to allocate health resources efficiently and equitably. In a new Introduction to the second expanded edition, Professor Fuchs examines the major changes in health, medical care, and U.S. health policy of the past four decades. Nine of his more recent papers dealing with poverty and health, aging, the socio-economic correlates of health, the future of health economics, and his recommendations for health care reform accompany the original 1974 text. ” Continue reading ‘Textbook New Edition: Who Shall Live?

4rdAnnual Symposium on Engineering and Liberal Education and Faculty Institute

June 3-4th, 2011

Union College, Schenectady, NY

www.union.edu/integration

 

Please join us for an exciting fourth annual symposium on Engineering and Liberal Education. The program includes a keynote talk by Dr. David Ferrucci, Semantic Analysis and Integration Department, IBM Watson Research Center. Dr. Ferrucci is perhaps best known for heading the team of researchers that developed “Watson,” the natural language processor recently featured on the quiz show “Jeopardy,” where it claimed victory over its human competitors.

 

Other highlights include an industry panel session, panel and discussion sessions on various aspects of integrating engineering and the liberal arts, a poster session, and on Saturday afternoon, a faculty development workshop.

 

The full program is available here: http://www.union.edu/integration/2011_schedule/
