By Marcia Angell, M.D.
Dr Marcia Angell describes the pharmaceutical industry as a global fraud and analyses the persuasive influence of the pharmaceutical industry on medicines and society at large.
In the introduction of her book she clearly states: ”This book will expose the real pharmaceutical industry – an industry that over the past two decades has moved very far from its original high purpose of discovering and producing useful new drugs. Now primarily a marketing machine to sell drugs of dubious benefit this industry uses its wealth and power to co-opt every institution that might stand in its way, including the U.S. Congress, the Food and Drug Administration, academic medical centers and the medical profession itself. Most of its marketing efforts are focused on influencing doctors, since they must write the prescriptions.”
