摘要

The Roosevelt Institute, a New York-based think tank that promotes progressive economic and political policy reforms, has released "Profit Over Patients: How the Rules of our Economy Encourage the Pharmaceutical Industry's Extractive Behavior" (https://bit.lv/2EMpknM). the first in a series of issue briefs exploring the pharmaceutical industry. Written by Roosevelt Fellow Katy Milani and Advocacy and Policy Associate Devin Duffy and released in conjunction with People's Action, one of the largest organizing networks in the country, the report seeks to explain how the U.S.-which comprises less than 5% of the world's population-represents between 30% and 40% of the global market for prescription drugs.
