Hardcover. Zustand: New. Emerging out of the era of the robber barons and Theodore Roosevelt's desire to 'civilize capitalism,' the Food and Drug Administration was created to stop the trade in adulterated meats and quack drugs. In the almost one hundred years since, it has evolved from a squad of eleven inspectors dogging dishonest tradesmen into America's most important regulatory agency, keeping tabs on the products of about 95,000 businesses and more than $1 trillion worth of goods annually. This book shows how the agency combats self-serving political and industrial interests and protects Americans from hazardous medicines, medical devices, and foodstuffs while enforcing rigorous scientific standards.

We see the subsequent fights the FDA waged, and won, for mandatory testing, and against such conservatives asin our own timeRonald Reagan and Newt Gingrich, who tried to curtail regulation.

Protecting America's Healthshows society adapting to both the burgeoning of science and technology and the ascendancy of the capitalist market. It makes startlingly clear the essential role the FDA has played in maintaining and protecting the quality of lifeand healthto which the American public has long been accustomed.…
