Summary:

'Given the provenance, this book was always going to be excellent, but it exceeded my highest expectations. It's one of those rare works that combine true scholarship with great imagination and end up also a real pleasure to read. The breadth of analysis is remarkable and the modelling for better futures is superb. It's more than a must read book; it is a must heed commentary, a blueprint for better public health that would be perilous to ignore.'- Charles Medawar, Founder Social Audit and author of Power and Dependence: Social Audit on the Safety of MedicinesThe pharmaceutical industry exists
