具体描述
Many have hailed the widespread use of generic drugs as one of the most important public-health developments of the twenty-first century. Today, almost 90 percent of our pharmaceutical market is comprised of generics, the majority of which are manufactured overseas. We have been reassured by our doctors, our pharmacists and our regulators that generic drugs are identical to their brand-name counterparts, just less expensive. But is this really true?
Katherine Eban’s Bottle of Lies exposes the deceit behind generic-drug manufacturing—and the attendant risks for global health. Drawing on exclusive accounts from whistleblowers and regulators, as well as thousands of pages of confidential FDA documents, Eban reveals an industry where fraud is rampant, companies routinely falsify data, and executives circumvent almost every principle of safe manufacturing to minimize cost and maximize profit, confident in their ability to fool inspectors. Meanwhile, patients unwittingly consume medicine with unpredictable and dangerous effects.
The story of generic drugs is truly global. It connects middle America to China, India, sub-Saharan Africa and Brazil, and represents the ultimate litmus test of globalization: what are the risks of moving drug manufacturing offshore, and are they worth the savings?
A decade-long investigation with international sweep, high-stakes brinkmanship and big money at its core, Bottle of Lies reveals how the world’s greatest public-health innovation has become one of its most astonishing swindles.

##医药版本的长夜难明。
评分##一个这么好的题材，被作者写得稀烂。故事非常散乱且冗长。有种所有我调查到的内容都要填进去的杂乱感。人物脸谱化，凡正面角色一定要讲到成长经历，父亲职业的影响，反面角色一定是生活奢迷，草菅人命，毫无道德可言。350字装不下我的吐槽。可能需要写一篇长评。。。。。。
评分##触目惊心，肺炎疫情期间看更有额外的感慨。关于天朝那一段估计中文版会删吧……
评分##阔怕 保命请认准大厂原研药 以及第三世界真实从头惨到脚
评分##医药版本的长夜难明。
评分##investigative journalism比侦探悬疑武侠都好读！本来是要坚定信心好好赚钱just so that I can pay whatever for the non generics，后面读到drug resistance那段觉得也无所谓了，????大家一起玩完。
评分##医药版本的长夜难明。
评分##这本书给我感觉和bad blood很像，也是一个记者多方访谈追踪揭露制药厂的骗局，读下来触目惊心，一遍遍问这是真的吗？真的吗？怎么会这样？FDA完全不可信了？简单结论就是千万不要再吃generic drugs了！
评分##Generic drugs still have a long way to go
