{"product_id":"the-risks-of-prescription-drugs-donald-light-9780231146920","title":"The Risks of Prescription Drugs","description":"Calling on a diverse range of experts, this book tackles critical questions about the pharmaceutical industry and the privatization of risk. To what extent does the FDA protect the public from serious side effects and possible disasters? What is the impact of giving greater roles to the private sector and markets and reducing public oversight? This volume considers whether current rules and incentives put patients at greater risk; the effect of the expansion of disease categories; the industry's justification of high U. S. prices and the financial risk they must bear; and the underlying shifts in the burdens of risks borne by individuals in the world of pharmaceuticals.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Donald Light\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0231146922\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780231146920\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Columbia University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/14\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 184\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.30h x 5.50w x 0.60d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/01\/2011","brand":"Donald Light","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44119480533247,"sku":"9780231146920","price":65.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_7a1a396f-d943-4a3d-96b3-87834f0345e4.jpg?v=1687409576","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-risks-of-prescription-drugs-donald-light-9780231146920","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
