We are a people of hypochondriacs who are victims of a "drug caste", as told by the essay by two journalists

ROME - Italians sick of medicines. Drug multinationals which, through targeted marketing strategies, create supply and demand at the same time. A careful investigation into the web of relationships that bind "Big Pharma", drug sales representatives, family doctors and university barons, health companies and polyclinics, officials, politicians and consumers arrives in the library.

FIELD INVESTIGATION – The more than 300 pages of «La Casta dei Medicina» are signed by two specialized journalists – Francesco Maggi and Adelisa Maio – who in the investigation published by Newton Compton explain how, first of all, it is necessary to sell the disease. And then the drug. The book will be presented on Wednesday 2 February at 6 pm at the Feltrinelli bookshop in the Alberto Sordi gallery, via del Corso 31-35 (Rome).
