Publisher Description
ABSTRACT This paper is the third in a series focusing on the unhealthy propinquity between industry and infirmity. It frames a growing discussion around the dilemma of business interests whose fortunes are tied to a continuation of--rather than the elimination of--common human ailments and disease. Hence we face a malignant paradox: If the public health were to markedly improve, multiple billion-dollar industries would suffer. And that is an unlikely near-term expectation, given the marketing and media clout of the affected industries.
