What is Critical Medical Anthropology?
It is the study of how wealth and power is distributed and how the division of labor can affect disease patterns and access to health care. Critical anthropology is inspired by the political economy of health and Marxist theory (Joralemon 2010:10). It is driven by capitalism and profit (Jordan 2012:292).
