What is recorded here?
Formulated and documented the inverse care law: availability of good medical care tends to vary inversely with need, especially where exposure to market forces is strongest.
Source-linked catalogue note. A detailed explanatory guide has not yet been prepared for this entry.
Scientific scope
The record is Hart's sole-author 1971 Lancet article. It does not turn the relationship into a universal mathematical law, establish one causal mechanism for every health system or absorb later inequality research.
