Description:
This book presents an integrated yet complex view of how the life sciences are becoming increasingly subject to economic interests and venturing. Not only are life science advances confined to laboratories--only slowly and eventually pouring into the health care practices, policies, and recommendations--but they are also taking the form of goods and services in their own right.
Review Quotes:
"Seamlessly weaving old literatures with new, this book grapples with the processes by which capitalism explores and - when possible, exploits - biological resources. Interdisciplinary in its scope, Organizations and the Bioeconomy gives us a lucid and well researched account of how 'life' is increasingly becoming the currency of control in the twenty-first century." - Michael Carolan, Colorado State University, USA
