520 _aThis book examines how corporations have impacted public health over the last century, first in industrialized countries and now in developing regions. It is both a current history of corporations' antagonism towards health and an analysis of the emerging movements that are challenging these industries' dangerous practices. It outlines reforms that aim to strike a healthier balance between large companies' right to make a profit and governments' responsibility to protect their populations.
