Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Long description:
Social Justice and Healthcare: Intersections of Political Philosophy and Healthcare addresses the pressing need for a comprehensive resource that connects the principles of social and economic justice with the realities of healthcare practice. Clinical psychologists and psychiatrists, nurses, and medical professionals face daily challenges related to fairness, discrimination, and access to care, yet lack a unified reference that integrates philosophical frameworks with actionable insights for healthcare delivery. The reference surveys nearly 70 influential social justice theorists and 20 healthcare economists, offering an extensive overview of major thought in this domain. Structured into two major sections, the book first explores the evolution of political philosophy as it relates to justice, fairness, and access, profiling key figures from Plato and Kant to Rawls and Nussbaum. The second section contextualizes these theories within the field of healthcare, introducing foundational health economists and examining core issues such as managed care, the Affordable Care Act, and healthcare reform. Each chapter distills complex ideas into accessible, clinically relevant summaries, providing the historical context and practical implications essential for healthcare professionals. Social Justice and Healthcare empowers clinicians with the knowledge to navigate ethical dilemmas, advocate for justice in healthcare systems, and improve patient outcomes. By integrating diverse scholarly voices and economic perspectives, this reference enhances critical thinking and problem-solving skills, equipping its readers to address inequities and advance reform within their clinical practice.
