Limits to Medicine — Why More Healthcare Can Produce More Sickness
Welcome to Crisis in Perception, where we examine the systems shaping our world.
Author: Ivan Illich
This episode explores Limits to Medicine by Ivan Illich as a systems-level analysis of how industrial healthcare systems influence autonomy, dependency, and institutional power.
By focusing on incentive architecture rather than personalities or isolated failures, the episode examines how medicine can become counterproductive once institutional expansion begins weakening the human capacity for autonomous coping and resilience.
