The Truth About the Drug Companies: How They Deceive Us and What to Do About It

a book review by John Hoey, M.D. from Want to Know.
In this book, her most recent, Marcia Angell explores pharmaceutical research, deplores the rapidly expanding involvement (and distortion of truth) of Big Pharma, and implores us all (physicians, patients, politicians) to do something about it. 
See also this piece entitled, "Why Almost Everything You Hear About Medicine Is Wrong". Notice that this capitalist publication carefully avoids connecting the issue of false medicines with profit-obsessed capitalism.

Read this piece entitled, "What Drug Companies are Paying Your Doctor", from Pro Publica. 

Capitalism corrupts everything it touches, and it seems to touch everything. It exploits people, it kills people, it creates wars, and it attacks even the planet's ecological system to the point where climate change is now threatening the human race.
