Sanders, retired chairman and CEO, Glaxo Inc., and former general director, Massachusetts General Hospital)<br><br>"This balanced collection of cutting-edge papers reviewing the theory and practice of health regulation is a must-read for those who regulate and for those regulated by this market-moving the debate from whether to regulate to how to do this most difficult task more effectively."
