As always I ask the inevitable question: does this include or exclude economic lobbies?
You are dealing with two devils: unregulated market propagators, and politicians. Why you declare the one a devil and the other a saint, probably always will escape me. All I see is two devils both doing a maximum ammount of damage.
Your image of sciences, btw, is not really unbiased, is it. While there are problems in the academic business routines, you put them to extremes, declare them a rule, and by that diffame everything they produce. listening to you makes me wonder why we should even want to have any science done independently from business interests anymore at all. and that results in what we have with the pharmacuetical industry: just inventing something that promises profit, and then inventing a fictional wide spread public suffering or disease that needs this drug. Or to add a non-effective meaningless substance to a drug that is short before loosing patent protection so that cheaper generica can be produced, by that new addition making it in legal context a new drug that enjoys full time patent protection again. And this is what is called science in business context. I hear no criticism of that, nor criticism on the fabrications in which the email "scandal" is basing on despite its now more and more obvious distortions and manipulative misquotes.
