Description

The creation of antibiotics revolutionized modern medicine. In the 1930s, virtually no drug intended for sickness did any good, but by the mid-20th century, a new category of medicine had transformed the treatment of infections. This dramatic change was made possible by large-scale experimentation and the development of systematic trial-and-error methods. The story behind this revolution is one of complex science, technology, politics, and economics. William Rosen explores how the discovery and development of antibiotics required significant investment and organization, leading to the creation of a vast new industry known as Big Pharma. This narrative combines science, technology, and business to illuminate the reasons behind one of the most significant changes in humanity's relationship with nature since the invention of agriculture. A timely and engrossing account, Miracle Cure offers a fascinating glimpse into the history of antibiotics and their impact on modern medicine.
