This book teaches you a lot about the flow of money in the Drug Industry. The author, a former editor of the NEJM, knows her stuff but has her own axe to grind -- she wants socialized medicine. The problem with the system now is largely government interference. The government protects and nourishes the drug companies (corporate welfarism) while people demand more care without feeling the cost via govt. services (medicare etc). But this book makes me rethink many of my beliefs simply by overwhelming me with facts -- I love books like that.
