Breaking the Medicine Monopolies is a personal narrative about Alfred Engelberg's fifty years of legal work in the drug industry.

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.

What We Know Now!

Jenny Kelly, Mairead Ronan

Here, along with their well-earned wisdom about the serious (and sometimes funny) business of life, they share their thoughts on how to navigate grown-up friendships, what it means to be in a relationship, and how to stop worrying about having it all and start figuring out what it is you actually want!
You'll also discover essential truths, like why you will never have Pocahontas hair (and why that's okay), why there's no greater joy than a deep clean with your favourite spray mop (just Jenny?), and how staring at trees can make you happier than owning a Mulberry handbag.
