Bristol-Myers Squibb

Probably the best general critical reviews of today's pharmaceutical industry published in recent years. Debunks many of the myths propagated by the industry about its expenditures on R&D; documents the industry's political and regulatory influence, exposes the growth of "disease mongering" and other tactics used to create new markets, and explains how drug companies have enormous influence over what doctors are taught about what they prescribe. Written by the former editor of the New England Journal of Medicine -- one of the most prestigious medical journals. Dr. Angell is a member of Harvard Medical School's Department of Social Medicine.
