Editorial Reviews

Professor Peter Singer, Princeton University
'An impressive collection of essays focusing on one of the most pressing issues of our time.' --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.

Product Description
Why does one-third of the world's population not have access to essential medicines? What drives new drug research priorities? How do we manage the ethical, legal, and social challenges associated with improving drug access? Answering these questions and more, this book is one of the first comprehensive and critical guides to global pharmaceutical policy issues. Bringing together the insights of more than thirty different specialists from around the world, this book discusses the current regulation of the industry; ethical issues in developing and distributing drugs; the importance of pharmaceuticals; how the industry prices and markets drugs; recommendations on how to improve pharmaceutical policy; the structure of the pharmaceutical industry; and what drugs are needed on a worldwide scale.
