Global Health Politics Workshop: “Capitalizing a Cure: How Finance Controls the Price and Value of Medicines”
Victor Roy, Post-doctoral Associate, National Clinician Scholars Program, Yale School of MedicineVictor Roy’s new book, Capitalizing a Cure, takes readers into the struggle over a medical breakthrough to investigate the power of finance over business, biomedicine, and public health. When curative treatments for hepatitis C launched in 2013, sticker shock over their prices intensified the global debate over access to new medicines. Weaving historical research with insights from political economy and science and technology studies, Roy demystifies an oft-missed dynamic in this debate: the reach of financialized capitalism into how medicines are made, priced, and valued.
