THE PHARMACEUTICAL INDUSTRY IS BROKEN

From the American hedge fund manager who drastically hiked the price of an AIDS pill to the children's cancer drugs left intentionally to expire in a Spanish warehouse, the signs of this dysfunction are all around. A system built to drive innovation and improve patient care has been distorted to maximise profits.

In Sick Money, the investigative journalist who exposed a billion-pound British price-hiking scandal goes inside the global battle over high drug prices. From secret deals to patients forced to turn to the black market, Billy Kenber reveals how medicines have become nothing more than financial assets. He offers a diagnosis of an industry in crisis - and a prescription for how it could be fixed.

A Compelling Expose of Sky-high Prices and Dirty Tricks Inside the Global Pharmaceutical IndustryBilly Kenber is one of the most promising young journalists in the land, and he has, unsurprisingly, produced a compelling debut which surprises, entertains and inspires dismay. An essential readBilly Kenber does a fantastic job, pulling apart the origins of the drugs industry and machinations of its shameless profiteers with surgical precision . . . it's quite a ride. A must-read for anyone who wants to understand how the drugs industry really does its businessTerrific reporting and a lucid and clear exposé of how the drug industry too often puts profits ahead of patients[Sick Money] distinguishes itself from many other books by its investigative power and meticulous clarityA forensic and very readable account of the reforms needed to make the pharmaceutical industry serve the public good as well as private profit . . . Kenber's ground-breaking investigative reporting has . . . resulted in a change in the law in the UK, intervention by regulators, cuts in the price of some medicines, life-changing benefits for patients, savings of hundreds of millions of pounds for the NHS and record fines for drug firmsPowerful, gripping and rigorous, this book couldn't have come at a better time. Never has it been so important to delve into the tangled web behind the medicines and vaccines we all rely on. With years of research and reporting under his belt, Kenber is the perfect person to take us on this fascinating journeyA clever exploration of a scandal that affects everyone who uses - and pays for - the NHS. This is an enormously complex subject, but Kenber finds the interesting characters and fascinating details that bring the story to life. A great and important readA painstakingly researched and beautifully written history of the dark underbelly of the pharmaceutical industry, which never forgets to tell the stories of the vulnerable people harmed when these companies lose their moral compass. I could not put it down
