The widespread condemnation of drastic price increases on
life-saving drugs highlights our growing dependency on and
vulnerability to international pharmaceutical conglomerates.
However, aren't the interests of the public supposed to supersede
the pursuit of private profit? In his new work, Private Profits
versus Public Policy, Joel Lexchin addresses this question as he
examines how public policy with respect to the pharmaceutical
industry has evolved in Canada over the past half century. Although
the Canadian government is supposed to regulate the industry to
serve the needs of public health, waves of deregulatory reforms and
intellectual property rights legislation have shifted the balance
of power in favour of these companies' quest for profit. Joel
Lexchin offers a series of recommendations to tip the scale back in
the public's favour. This enlightening work is the first book that
deals exclusively with the pharmaceutical industry in Canada in
over thirty years.
