Description: During much of the 19th century, physicians and pharmacists alike considered medical patenting and the use of trademarks by drug manufacturers unethical forms of monopoly; physicians who prescribed patented drugs could be, and were, ostracized from the medical community. Yet in the decades following the Civil war, intellectual property rights were reinterpreted as an important and ethical component of the scientific development of new drugs. By World War I, patented and trademark drugs had become essential to the practice of good medicine.Medical Monopoly combines legal, medical, and business history to offer a sweeping new interpretation of the origins of the complex and often troubling relationship between the pharmaceutical industry and medical practice today. Medical Monopoly is essential reading for anyone following contemporary debates about the pharmaceutical industry, the patenting of scientific discoveries, and the role of advertising in the marketplace.A thoughtful and thought-provoking gift your yourself or another special person. Enjoy!
