This book investigates how healthcare activism navigates the tension between market-driven medical innovation and the preservation of the collective good. Susi Geiger, a professor of marketing and market studies, compiles research from various contributors to examine how patient organizations and public interest groups influence the trajectory of modern medicine. The text argues that as healthcare becomes increasingly personalized and data-dependent, the role of organized activism is critical in ensuring that marketization does not erode public health equity.
