biomedicine

is compatible with the world view of (and politically and economically useful to) the capitalist class and the emerging managerial and professional stratum with its attention on discrete, external agents rather than on social structural or environmental factors.

According to E. R. Brown (1979), 'The medical profession discovered an ideology that was compatible with the world view of, and politically and economically useful to, the capitalist class and the emerging managerial and professional stratum.' Biomedicine focused attention on discrete, external agents rather than on social structural or environmental factors.
