Published Feb. 18, 2022

Swenson provides an unsettling summary of the public and private health systems of the United States, and their dark, clandestine interactions with money and politics. While the picture painted in Disorder may seem deeply concerning to readers, Swenson argues for optimism moving forward, hoping for change and the establishment of a brighter future.
