“"Whether we like it or not, health care is always going to be a business. We hope it will be more than a mere business, and a special sort of business, but it is still a business. Therefore, business ethics has an essential contribution to make to the ethics of health care. Weber's fine volume illustrates how significant that contribution can be." —Howard Brody, M.D., Ph.D., author of The Placebo Response and Stories of Sickness
Leonard J. Weber points the way to more demanding standards and better practices that might begin to restore confidence in the drug industry.”
“In this extremely topical text, Weber . . . takes on two of today's most critical issues: business ethics, especially in the pharmaceutical industry, and the marketing of prescription drugs to the general public. . . . This thoroughly engrossing book will be important reading for health care practitioners, drug-marketing representatives, and the public at large. . . . Recommended. Upper-level undergraduates, graduate students, professionals/practitioners, and general readers.”
