White Market Drugs: Big Pharma and the Hidden History of Addiction in America

byDavid Herzberg

White Market Drugs is David Herzberg's historical account of big Pharma and the Hidden History of Addiction in America. The book builds its explanation through key episodes, competing interests, and the setting supplied by the connected fields of business & economics and history. The result avoids a single easy lesson, emphasizing instead how circumstances, institutions, and individual choices interacted over time. What emerges is a nuanced account of the subject, its immediate consequences, and its wider meaning. Historical context and individual experience remain equally important to the book's explanation.
