It is probably in:
Albrecht, Gary. (1992) THE DISABILITY BUSINESS (Newbury Park, CA:
Sage Publications, Inc. [my annotation] This work contains considerable
material covering disability as a business: rehabilitation providers and
others. Its primary contribution, besides a quantity of information, is
its theoretical approach. Albrecht approaches disability as an industry
in which the condition of being disabled is the raw material in a
production process and the industry makes a profit selling goods and
services. To understand the phenomenon of disability one must understand
the industry and the larger economic and political forces which influence
it. And, Albrecht points out, people with disabilities have very little
say in what they are offered. Until they are empowered to play a role in
the industry, little will change.
