Nick Dearden shatters the myth that pharmaceuticals corporations (Big Pharma) play an innovative and productive role in providing people with medicines and how the realities of financialization, intellectual property law, and neocolonialism show that instead we are left with an incredibly harmful system.

He has been a campaigner against corporate globalisation for over 20 years, working with organizations including War on Want, Amnesty International and Jubilee Debt Campaign. He has been a leading voice in the campaign for a People's Vaccine. He regularly contributes political analysis to publications including The Guardian, Al Jazeera, and Open Democracy.
