This book radically challenges the ethics of viewing care as a tradeable commodity and introduces a novel framework for understanding and analysing social care through the concept of ailment. Providing examples from the British and Finnish welfare states, it demonstrates how ailment shapes societies from the micro to the macro level. Addressing the marketisation and financialisation of care, the authors bring to light increasing inequalities in care. This book argues that ailment is part of human life and society, and therefore the politics of care should begin with a politics of ailment.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Minna Zechner, Lena Näre, Olli Karsio\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1447343476\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781447343479\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Policy Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/23\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 134\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.58lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.00w x 0.38d","brand":"Minna Zechner","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44126930108671,"sku":"9781447343479","price":83.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_606cd225-216f-47b2-ae6d-53f5a3ed07f0.jpg?v=1687450939","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-politics-of-ailment-minna-zechner-9781447343479","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
