Dr. Gerald M. Goldhaber on his book Murder, Inc. about the harms caused by corporate greed (4/3/20)
Do you assume the products you buy, the food you eat, the medicines you take, and the cars you drive are safe? Think again. We're exposed on a daily basis to life-threatening hazards of which we're often unaware. From defective airbags that can explode and kill us to poisonous additives in food, we're often the unknowing victims of corporate malfeasance and shamefully incompetent government oversight. In his new book “Murder, Inc.: How Unregulated Industry Kills or Injures Thousands of Americans Every Year...And What You Can Do About It,” Dr. Gerald M. Goldhaber examines the outcomes when corporate profits trump public safety. Join us for this discussion of capitalism run amok in this installment of Leonard Lopate at Large on WBAI.
