Description
Joseph Gabriel (Pharmacy) presents preliminary thoughts on a brewing legitimation crisis facing medical science. Drawing from his recent work on the history of intellectual property rights and the origins of the modern pharmaceutical industry, he suggests that a possible origin point for the current distrust of our healthcare system can be found during the 1880s, when a series of reformers re-conceptualized the relationship between medical science and monopoly rights in drug manufacturing.
