Rezensionen

Nick Dearden's book is about the structural foundations of a global market in life-saving medicines. A market dependent on taxpayer subsidies, but designed to strip both rich and poor governments of the power to improve health. An essential read for those that care about saving lives, and that want the system changed. Ann Pettifor, author of A Case for the Green New Deal
