About the author

Robert Higgs

Summary

Examines how the FDA accumulated its enormous power and what effects it has had on the public. This book also explores who actually benefits and loses from FDA actions, and whether alternatives exist. It raises serious questions about the wisdom of giving policing power to scientists with little oversight or appeal process, as the FDA currently does.
