PHARMA

Good 👍

A very intersting history of Pharma and it's Nexus with various institutions, politicians, business influencers for influencing policies meant regulating, monitoring unethical practices, idetracking safety n efficacy and profiteering etc at the expense of the patient.

If you're looking for something truly investigative, you won't get it. Also the author uses a number of statements to suit the agenda of the book. For instance, the objectives and goals of some business associations have been presented as if their sole purpose is to fleece and cheat the people. While business associations do cover up a lot of misdeeds of multinationals, it wouldn't be fair to say they are completely evil.Then why even the 3 stars?Two reasons. One, the author has put in a lot of research and has unearthed some interesting stats. And two, the style is friendly, if not outright enjoyable. I wish the author had brought in more objective criticism.

The book is excellent but the printed price of the book is 799 rupees.
