Of Medicines and Markets: Intellectual Property and Human Rights in the Free Trade Era - Hardcover

by Angelina Snodgrass Godoy (Author)

Through an examination of the pharmaceutical industry and access to medicine in Central America, this book considers whether health is a human right or a commodity, and whether human rights advocacy is an antidote to the advance of neoliberal social policy or the very vehicle through which it now advances.
