Ep. 198: Nationalize the Drugs (Ft. Hadas Thier)
This week we're looking at medicine, vaccines, and the companies that make them. We're joined by Hadas Thier, author of the new book "A People's Guide to Capitalism: An Introduction to Marxist Economics," to discuss the failures of Big Pharma, as well as capitalism and the profit motive more broadly.
Hadas wrote recently about nationalizing Big Pharma this past summer for In These Times, which you can read here: https://inthesetimes.com/article/big-pharma-pharmaceutical-industry-vaccine-coronavirus-gilead
And if you're interested in learning more about Marxism or just brushing up, we highly recommend her book from Haymarket: https://www.haymarketbooks.org/books/1481-a-people-s-guide-to-capitalism
