Pharmanomics w/ Nick Dearden

On this week’s Macrodose Nick Dearden takes us on a deep dive into the the history of the pharmaceutical industry - asking how it became the leviathan it is today, why it has been able to assert its unchecked geopolitical influence across the world, and whether there is anything that can be done to loosen its grip on global health.

Nick is the director of Global Justice Now, and a campaigner on issues of Global Justice for over two decades. He is also author of “Pharmanomics: How Big Pharma Destroys Global Health”, published by Verso Books in October last year. Grab your copy here: tinyurl.com/5a8am2zx
