Martins “Politics of Research”

Martins “The Politics of Research” brings to light the sad but true way of how the world operates, money makes the world go around. At the end of the day the only thing that big corporations are concerned about is there profit and therefore are only going to invest into research that will maximize their profits. Why would they invest millions into a study that proves if you eat “a” then your risk of getting “b” is reduced or eliminated. When they can invest into research for a drug or procedure that can manage or cure “b”, then they can go and charge an obscene amount for it, because they know that people will pay for it, because really there unaware of any alternatives.
