Reviews for Medical Monopoly: Intellectual Property Rights and the Origins of the Modern Pharmaceutical Industry (Synthesis)
"A fascinating book about the history of intellectual property (IP) rights in pharmaceuticals....The book reaches a number of conclusions that are surprising to the contemporary student of both IP and pharmaceuticals, and Gabriel does a nice job of marshaling the massive amount of evidence he uncovered into a chronological narrative." (Catherine Fisk, University of California, Irvine)"
