Pathologies of Power: Health, Human Rights, and the New War on the Poor by Paul Farmer

3.0

Paul Farmer is an inspiration to me and his voice is so important. This book felt a bit dated as I read it, but he informs readers about important past events and argues crucial moral/ethical points that arise from them which are today no less relevant/important. He calls for not just consideration of these questions, but action to protect the rights and health of the most vulnerable humans. This is a intellectual book, requiring work to slog through at points, but I'm glad to have read it to glean from his insights.
