Through a broad range of cases in Asia, Europe and the US, it shows how health was transformed into a fast-growing and diversified industry. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHealth and medicine have developed as one of the fastest growing sectors of the economy around the world during the twentieth century. However, very little is known about the conditions of their transformation in a big, globalized business. This book discusses the development of health industries, tackling the various activities in manufacturing (drugs, biotechnology, medical devices, etc.), infrastructure (hospital design and construction) and services (nursing care, insurances, hospital management, etc.) in relation to healthcare. The business history of health carried out in this book offers a systemic perspective that includes the producers (companies), practitioners (medical doctors) and users (patients and hospitals) of medical technology, as well as the providers of capital and the bodies responsible for regulating the health system (government). \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of the journal \u003ci\u003eBusiness History\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePierre-Yves Donzé\u003c\/strong\u003e is Professor of Business History at Osaka University, Japan, and Visiting Professor at the University of Fribourg, Switzerland.
