• February 2017

O conflito é mau; o compromisso, o consenso e a colaboração são bons — ou então assim nos dizem. O advogado e bioeticista Jonathan Marks desafia esta ideia convencional, demonstrando como os governos podem prejudicar a saúde pública, os direitos humanos e o ambiente, quando colaboram com a indústria. Um importante e oportuno lembrete de que o bem de todos e o consenso não são a mesma coisa.
