Patricia Evangelista's "journalistic masterpiece" is a detailed account of the Philippines' state-sanctioned killings of its citizens. The book, which was published by The New Yorker, is a deeply humane chronicle of the country's drug war. Evangelista, who came of age after a street revolution, documented the killings carried out by police and vigilantes under President Rodrigo Duterte's regime. The book captures the atmosphere of fear created when an elected president decides to prioritize certain lives over others. It also delves into the grammar of violence and human impulses to dominate and resist.

Breaking the Medicine Monopolies...

Alfred Engelberg

Breaking the Medicine Monopolies is a lawyer's personal narrative of the events that led to the widespread use of low-cost generic drugs and the current drug price crisis. 
 
 
 
Breaking the Medicine Monopolies is a personal narrative about Alfred Engelberg's fifty years of legal work in the drug industry. He takes you inside the mysterious world of patents to provide a basic understanding of how drug makers have gamed the laws governing brand and generic competition, misused patents to prolong monopolies, and delayed generic competition on old drugs instead of focusing on discovering new ones. In this book, Engelberg provides listeners with an understanding of how the growing use of low-cost generic drugs led to the highest prices in the world for new drugs, and how middlemen in the drug distribution chain have exploited a lack of price transparency in order to earn excessive profits. Breaking the Medicine Monopolies is a must-listen for anyone who wants to understand how ill-considered policy decisions and an inept patent system led to unaffordable prices for new drugs, and what can be done to correct the problem.

Write Your Why (What Will Follow)

Julia Whelan

An approachable craft talk, written and read by Julia Whelan. Combining her perspectives as a writer, an educator, and a narrator, she breaks down what makes books connect with readers. Using Simon Sinek's seminal TedTalk for the business community, "Knowing Your Why", as a starting point, Julia applies this to the broader craft of storytelling: If you know why you are writing something, your audience will know why they're reading it. So... how does one do that? Originally presented as a keynote speech at Nashville's WriterFest.
