La verdadera historia de la epidemia de opiáceos en Estados Unidos

Trabajo Universitario del año 2017 en eltema Economía - Coyuntura y crecimiento, , Idioma: Español, Resumen: El presente ensayo, resultado de un extenso análisis de variables y del impacto de las principales distorsiones de mercado de forma directa e indirecta en la economía, coloca a las instituciones como el principal obstáculo para el crecimiento económico de nuestro país. Durante el siglo XX las instituciones en México operaron bajo un perfil proteccionista y fue hasta 1985 con la apertura de mercados y 1992 con la privatización de la banca que adoptando un modelo externo de crecimiento, se logró cierta estabilidad aunque con eminentes fallas principalmente de gobierno, de mercado y de financiamiento nacional. Parece que hasta hoy, no han encontrado un balance a lo largo de la historia para intervenir propiciando las condiciones óptimas que favorezcan el crecimiento económico considerando las características que prevalecen en la oferta y la demanda del mercado laboral. Hemos tocado el problema principal en su sentido más amplio; sin embargo, la metodología de Haussman, et al. nos sugiere no utilizar un enfoque que pretenda abarcarlo todo, sino ser específico y apelar a los cuellos de botella más importantes. En este sentido, se procede a explicar por qué las externalidades de la coordinación, como parte de las fallas de mercado, representan el principal obstáculo para el crecimiento económico en México.La primera parte del trabajo expone el análisis de variables que fueron clave para definir el problema principal del crecimiento a manera de mostrar una fotografía del estado actual de la economía de México comparada con la de otros países. La segunda parte revisa el modelo propuesto por Haussman, et. al. y el proceso de descenso en el árbol de decisión hasta llegar a las fallas de mercado, descartando a las demás variables. Finalmente se concluye con las principales ideas del texto y notando posibles áreas de oportunidad para el estudio del tema.

How Big Pharma Destroys Global Health

Pharmanomics

The evolution of the healthcare system in the U.S. has seen numerous changes in the last 30 years where fee-for-service was the mainstay of reimbursement models and hospitals were managed by physicians and patient care was key. The early 1990's saw the emergence of HMOs and other managed care models with physicians handing over leadership roles to corporate entities whose main concern was the bottom line and profitability while patient care and satisfaction suffered. 





The Healthcare Collapse: Where We've been and Where We Need to Go explores the low morale of physicians in this corporate healthcare culture as well as the expansion of hospitals owned by corporations. The author focuses on recovering healthcare morals and return value to the individuals who provide active care and not just business. This book also examines the possible repercussions of Medicare and Medicaid while address the question of single payer healthcare.





This book looks at where healthcare has been, what has worked and what hasn't, and recommends solutions to create a system that focuses on the patient and providing quality care in this age of reimbursement cuts, demands for better technology and providing a safer environment for both the patient and clinicians who work in hospitals. The author also advocates for a shift in management and recommends hospitals leaders engage physicians and other clinicians in process improvement and other initiatives which can result in a more efficient system - one where quality patient care dominant. The book also outlines programs which can be championed by hospitals such as patient engagement activities, community health and other outreach and education programs.

This book looks at where healthcare has been, what has worked and what hasn’t and recommends solutions to create a system that focuses on the patient and providing quality care in this age of reimbursement cuts, demands for better technology and providing a safer environment for both the patient and clinicians who work in hospitals.

Where We've Been and Where We Need to Go

The Healthcare Collapse

A dazzling and infuriating portrait of fifty years of corporate influence in Washington, The Wolves of K Street is a “not-so-guilty pleasure” (The New York Times): irresistibly dramatic, spectacularly timely, explosive in its revelations, and impossible to put down. In the 1970s, Washington’s center of power began to shift away from elected officials in big marble buildings to a handful of savvy, handsomely paid operators who didn’t answer to any fixed constituency. The cigar-chomping son of an influential congressman, an illustrious political fixer with a weakness for modern art, a Watergate-era dirty trickster, the city’s favorite cocktail party host—these were the sort of men who now ran Washington. Over four decades, they’d chart new ways to turn their clients’ cash into political leverage, abandoning favor-trading in smoke-filled rooms for increasingly sophisticated tactics, such as “shadow lobbying,” where underground campaigns sparked seemingly organic public outcries to pressure lawmakers into taking actions that would ultimately benefit corporate interests rather than ordinary citizens. With billions of dollars at play, these lobbying dynasties enshrined in Washington a pro-business consensus that would guide the country’s political leaders—Democrats and Republicans alike. A good lobbyist could ghostwrite a bill or even secretly kill a piece of legislation supported by the president, both houses of Congress, and a majority of Americans. Yet nothing lasts forever. Amid a populist backlash to the soaring inequality these influence peddlers helped usher in, DC’s pro-business alliance suddenly began to fray. And while the lobbying establishment would continue to invent new ways to influence Washington, the men who’d built K Street would soon find themselves under legal scrutiny, on the verge of financial collapse or worse. One would turn up dead behind the eighteenth green of an exclusive golf club, with a $1,500 bottle of wine at his feed and bullet in his head. An “absorbing” (The Atlantic), “engrossing” and “meticulously researched” tale (The Guardian)—brought to life with “novelistic detail” and “considerable narrative skill” (The New York Times)—The Wolves of K Street is essential reading for anyone looking to understand how corporate interests are undermining American democracy.

The Secret History of How Big Money Took Over Big Government

The Wolves of K Street

For Blood and Money tells the little-known story of how an upstart biotechnology company created a one-in-a-million cancer drug, and how the core team-denied their share of the profits-went and did it again. In this epic saga of money and science, veteran financial journalist Nathan Vardi explains how the invention of two of the biggest cancer drugs in history became (for their backers) two of the greatest Wall Street bets of all time.
In the multibillion-dollar business of biotech, where pharmaceutical companies, the government, hedge funds, and venture capitalists have spent billions on funding, experimentation, and treatments, a single molecule can stop cancer in its tracks-and make the people who find that rare molecule astonishingly rich. For Blood and Money follows a small team at a biotech start-up in California, who have found one of these rare molecules. Their compound, known as a BTK inhibitor, seems to work on a vicious type of leukemia. When patients start rising from their hospice beds, the team knows they're onto something big.
What follows is a story of genius, pathos, and drama, in which vivid characters navigate a world of corporate intrigue and ambiguous morality. Vardi's narrative immerses readers in the recent explosion of biotech start-ups. He describes the scientists, doctors, and investors who are risking everything to develop new, life-saving treatments, and introduces suffering patients for whom the stakes are life-or-death. A gripping nonfiction read, For Blood and Money illustrates why it's so hard to bring new drugs to market, explains why they are so expensive, and examines how profit-driven venture capitalists are shaping the future of medicine.

For Blood and Money

Seminar paper del año 2017 en eltema Economía de las empresas - Banca, bolsa de valores, seguros, contabilidad, Nota: College, , Idioma: Español, Resumen: Las bolsas de valores, piedras angulares del sistema bursátil, son un vehículo que consta de las facultades legales, operativas y tecnológicas para permitir el  intercambio de títulos de valor a través de sistemas de negociación, y por ende un encuentro de la oferta y la demanda en el mercado de valores. En sentido estricto y para México, se trata de sociedades anónimas de capital variable que requieren de la concesión del Estado, otorgada a través de la SHCP para operar, conforme a las estipulaciones dispuestas en los artículos 232 y 255 de la Ley del Mercado de Valores (Avendaño, 2010).Resulta interesante revisar la historia de México y encontrar que no siempre existió solo una bolsa de valores. El inicio de las operaciones bursátiles en México data de 1895 con grandes inversionistas mineros y durante varios años coexistieron las bolsas de Guadalajara, Monterrey y la de México (Tello, 2011). La inminente inestabilidad macroeconómica nacional principalmente referente a: problemas sociales internos, constante endeudamiento, falta de industrialización, mala recaudación, economía cerrada a la inversión extranjera y otros; aunado a la falta de un marco legal regulatorio e instituciones fuertes para las entidades financieras y bursátiles, no propiciaron las condiciones necesarias para el desarrollo del Mercado de Valores. Es hasta 1975 que la Bolsa de México absorbe a la de Guadalajara y Monterrey cambiando su denominación a Bolsa Mexicana de Valores como actualmente la conocemos. Aunque esto generó concentración de mercado, hubo importantes beneficios como la adaptación de nueva tecnología y con ello el aumento de posibilidades de inversión (Tello, 2011). Desde entonces y hasta  2017, existía en México solo una bolsa de valores; sin embargo, esta situación cambió cuando la SHCP anunció el 20 de agosto del presente año la concesión a BIVA para operar como bolsa de valores alterna (El Economista, 2017). Este evento evidentemente traerá una serie de cambios para el sector bursátil y la economía global; por lo que los objetivos de este trabajo son el análisis del proceso de integración de BIVA al sector bursátil, así como los posibles efectos económicos a partir de este evento.

The Hidden History of Medicine and How It Became a Commodity

The Apothecary's Wife

"Bad Blood meets Dreamland in this kaleidoscopic investigation into the shadowy and vampiric blood business and the dangerous limits of demand for the crucial resource that runs through our very veins. Every year, about twenty million Americans sell blood plasma for cash in a barely regulated market dominated by private industry and off-the-grid trafficking. These commercial efforts prey on an insatiable market for medical and scientific innovation fed from the veins of some of the country's most marginalized communities, such as undocumented immigrants and residents of poverty-stricken Flint, Michigan. We are often told that "blood donations" are used to save lives, but blood plasma, a component of whole blood, has become a precious commercial good. Blood plasma is collected and marketed by private industry, with the United States one of just five nations on the planet that have not yet banned the practice of pay-for-plasma giving. This precious resource is used for everything from expensive and unproven age-reversing treatments to costly and experimental cures for novel diseases like COVID-19. Based on a cross-country investigation into the plasma-giving capitals of the country, in-depth research into the blood industry, and her personal experience as a beneficiary of plasma-derived treatment for a rare condition, Kathleen McLaughlin's Blood Money reveals the underhanded machinations and unbalanced power structures of the blood industry. Taking us from China's blood black market to Silicon Valley's shadowy tech startups, this is an unforgettable inside look at an industry many of us had no idea even existed. Blood Money is an electrifying exposâe that demonstrates the shadowy overlap between big medicine and big business and paints a searing portrait of the extent to which American industry feeds on the country's most vulnerable"--

Die erste umfassende kritische Darstellung von Bill Gates und seiner Stiftung
 Der Imagewechsel vom skrupellosen Kapitalisten und rücksichtslosen Microsoft-Chef zum wohltätigen Gutmenschen ist Bill Gates mit Bravour gelungen. Eine fundierte kritische Berichterstattung über den vermeintlich größten Philanthropen unserer Zeit und seine Stiftung, die »Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation«, gibt es jedoch nicht. In seinem Enthüllungsbuch räumt der Journalist Tim Schwab mit dem Bild von Bill Gates als Wohltäter auf.
 Auf Grundlage brisanter Dokumente und Insiderinformationen liefert Schwab ein überzeugendes Gegennarrativ: Der Tech-Milliardär zieht nicht nur finanziellen Nutzen aus seiner Stiftung, sondern nimmt durch sie auf undemokratische Weise Einfluss auf politische Entscheidungen weltweit. Denn nur Organisationen und Projekte, die mit Gates' persönlicher Agenda und Weltsicht übereinstimmen, haben eine Chance darauf, gefördert zu werden. Somit illustriert der Fall Bill Gates wie kein anderer die Gefahren extremer Ungleichheit: Denn wenn Superreiche ihr Vermögen nutzen, um Politik zu machen, werden demokratische Prozesse und Institutionen unterminiert und unsere Gesellschaft vor eine Zerreißprobe gestellt.

“Riveting . . . Blake’s deft chronicle of one of the greatest moral scandals of our time [is] a book that none of us can afford to miss.”—The Washington Post A gripping investigation of the chemical industry’s decades-long campaign to hide the dangers of forever chemicals, told through the story of a small town on the frontlines of an epic public health crisis. SHORTLISTED FOR THE J. ANTHONY LUKAS PRIZE • FINALIST FOR THE PEN/E.O WILSON LITERARY SCIENCE WRITING AWARD AND THE LOS ANGELES TIMES BOOK PRIZE • EDGAR AWARD NOMINEE A BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR: The Washington Post, Scientific American, Booked Up In 2014, after losing several friends and relatives to cancer, an unassuming insurance underwriter in Hoosick Falls, New York, began to suspect that the local water supply was polluted. When he tested his tap water, he discovered dangerous levels of forever chemicals. This set off a chain of events that led to 100 million Americans learning their drinking water was tainted. Although the discovery came as a shock to most, the U.S. government and the manufacturers of these toxic chemicals—used in everything from lipstick and cookware to children’s clothing—had known about their hazards for decades. In They Poisoned the World, investigative journalist Mariah Blake tells the astonishing story of this cover-up, tracing its roots back to the Manhattan Project and through the postwar years, as industry scientists discovered that these chemicals refused to break down and were saturating the blood of virtually every human being. By the 1980s, manufacturers were secretly testing their workers and finding links to birth defects, cancer, and other serious diseases. At every step, the industry’s deceptions were aided by our government’s appallingly lax regulatory system—a system that has made us all guinea pigs in a vast, uncontrolled chemistry experiment. Drawing on years of on-the-ground reporting and tens of thousands of documents, Blake interweaves the secret history of forever chemicals with the moving story of how a lone village took on the chemical giants—and won. From the beloved local doctor to the young mother who took her fight all the way to the nation’s capital, citizen activists in Hoosick Falls and beyond have ignited the most powerful grassroots environmental movement since Silent Spring. Humane and revelatory, this book will provoke outrage—and hopefully inspire the change we need to protect the health of every American for generations to come.
