Trade ReviewEckenwiler argues for ethical and ecological thinking about transnational long-term care in this brief collection of her essays. Choice A formidable amount of information is included, and the call for policies that can facilitate provision of quality long-term care that is just and equitable for less affluent as well as more affluent countries is a welcome addition to the literature on this topic. -- Patrick Fox JAMA [Long-term Care, Globalization, and Justice] provides a valuable function in highlighting an important issue and provoking readers to appreciate its complexity and the moral issues raised. -- Pamela Nadash World Medical & Health Policy
