" This book is the culmination of five years of impassioned conversations among distinguished scholars in law, public policy, medicine, and biopsychology, about the most difficult questions in drug policy and the study of addictions. As these intensely argued chapters show, the obvious answers are always alluring but frequently wrong. Do drug addicts have an illness, or is their addiction under their control? Should they be treated as ..."

"Welfare reform was a spectacular success in New York under Mayor Giuliani despite the city's history of liberal social programs and its huge, entrenched welfare system. The city reduced the numbers on welfare from 1,120,000 to 460,000 by changing the organizational culture, protecting against fraud, insisting on "work first," adapting information technology, and contracting for job placement. The organizational culture was transformed b ..."

"America faces a desperate organ shortage. Today, more than 78,000 people are waiting for a kidney transplant; only one in four will receive one this year, while twelve die each day waiting for help. Not surprisingly, many patients are driven to desperate measures to circumvent the eight-year waiting list―renting billboards, advertising in newsletters, or even purchasing an organ on the global black market. Altruism is an admirable but c ..."

"This provocative account of our obsession with neuroscience brilliantly illuminates what contemporary neuroscience and brain imaging can and cannot tell us about ourselves, providing a much-needed reminder about the many factors that make us who we are.What can't neuroscience tell us about ourselves? Since fMRI -- functional magnetic resonance imaging -- was introduced in the early 1990s, brain scans have been used to help politicians u ..."

"This is where, as imaging expert Hal Pashler puts it, this “hellishly complicated [
process] creates great opportunity for inadvertent mischief.” The mischief is not
intentional, of course. It is due partly to the fact that analytic methods are
constantly evolving and can vary from lab to lab. Such lack of standardization, not
unexpected in a rapidly growing field, has implications for reproducing the work
of others, collaborations ..."

"As Paula Braverman, a physician with the medical school at the University of
California at San Francisco, claims, “illness is caused by the power imbalance”
inherent in a capitalist society. “Even if those living on the lowest rung of the
social ladder had sufficient material resources,” she said at a meeting of the
American Public Health Association, “their health would still suffer because they
are deprived relative to others.” A ..."

"Two fifty-year-old men arrive at an emergency room with acute chest pain. One is white and the other black. Will they receive the same quality of treatment and have the same chance of recovery? Many experts today insist that their race will profoundly affect how the medical-care system deals with them, and that the black patient will get much inferior care. Is this true? The Health Disparities Myth critically assesses recent research be ..."
