Plagues and parasites have played a central role in world affairs, shaping the evolution of the modern state, the growth of cities, and the disparate fortunes of national economies. This book tells that story, but it is not about the resurgence of pestilence. It is the story of its decline.

Description
From "pharma bros" to everyday household budgets, just how did the pharmaceutical industry betray its own history-and how can it return to its tradition of care?

Such an environment is not the domain of science; rather it's the breeding ground of tyranny.
