"Inescapable Decisions is David Mechanic's finest book. If one had to select a single volume to give to a health professional, a policy-maker, or a lay person that represented by social science is essential to health and health care, this collection of essays is that book. . . . No one has put together a more impressive collection of essays about the dangerous complexities in America's health and health care."

--Arthur Kleinman, M.D., Harvard Medical School
