Inventing disease and pushing pills

Description:

"The pharmaceutical industry is redefining health, making it a state that is almost impossible to achieve. Many normal life processes - states as natural as birth, ageing, sexuality, not being happy, and death - are systematically reinterpreted as pathological, thus creating new markets for their treatment."--Cover.
