| Abstract | "This book isolates three moments within the epidemic-'the Science,' non-pharmaceutical intervention, and pharmaceutic remedies-and shows how each of these unities came to immunise itself against alternative proposals. Michael Lewis demonstrates the auto-immune and counter-productive effects of this approach"-- Provided by publisher. |
