  Owning the Sun - A People's...

  Owning the Sun tells the story of one of the most contentious fights in human history: the legal right to control the production of lifesaving medicines. Medical science began as a discipline geared toward the betterment of all human life, but the merging of research with intellectual property and the rise of the pharmaceutical industry warped and eventually undermined its ethical foundations. Why does the US government fund the development of medical science in the name of the public, only to relinquish exclusive rights to drug companies, and how does such a system impoverish us, weaken our responses to global crises, and, as in the case of AIDS and COVID-19, put the world at risk? 
   
   
    
  Outlining how generations of public health and science advocates have attempted to hold the line against Big Pharma and their allies in government, Alexander Zaitchik's first-in-kind history documents the rise of medical monopoly in the United States and its subsequent globalization. From the controversial arrival of patent-wielding German drug firms in the late nineteenth century, to present-day coordination between industry and philanthropic organizations—including the influential Gates Foundation—that stymie international efforts to vaccinate the world against COVID-19, Owning the Sun tells one of the most important and least understood histories of our time.

  What if your definition of good is the very thing standing trial? 
  In Euthyphro, Plato offers a gripping philosophical encounter between Socrates and a confident accuser of impiety—who turns out to understand far less than he thinks. As Socrates patiently dismantles Euthyphro’s claims about what is pious, we are invited into a timeless conversation on the essence of justice, religion, and ethical reasoning. 
  This modernized audiobook translation brings clarity to one of Plato’s most accessible yet profound works. Engaging and intellectually stimulating, it’s ideal for anyone seeking to reflect on what makes an action truly moral. 
  What you’ll discover inside: 
  •	A concise yet powerful dialogue on the true meaning of piety and divine justice 
  •	The classic “Euthyphro dilemma” that challenges both religious dogma and moral relativism 
  •	Socratic questioning at its finest—used to reveal assumptions and deepen understanding 
  •	A modern, easy-to-follow adaptation designed for thinkers and listeners of today 
  Whether you’re exploring the roots of ethics or questioning inherited beliefs, Euthyphro will lead you to the heart of moral inquiry.
