Topic: compare how the activities of physicians in the US and China may have led to a attaining different levels of autonomy and legitimacy.

Order Description
In his book Starr argues that the professionalization of medicine was driven mostly by the economic interests of physicians and the collective bargaining power that was gained through the AMA. In my paper, I want to compare how the activities of physicians in the US and China may have led to a attaining different levels of autonomy and legitimacy.
