Summary of Blood Money By Kathleen McLaughlin: The Story of Life, Death, and Profit Inside America's Blood Industry
IN THIS SUMMARIZED BOOK, YOU WILL GET:
Kathleen McLaughlin's ten-year investigation into the $20-billion-a-year medical industry reveals an industry that targets America's most economically vulnerable for profit. She becomes her own runner, hiding American plasma in her luggage during trips to China. Suspicions become certainties when a visiting Chinese researcher warns of troubling echoes between America's domestic plasma supply chain and the one she'd seen spin out into chaos in China. Blood Money follows McLaughlin's decade-long mission to learn the full story of where her medicine comes from. McLaughlin investigates the truth about human blood plasma and unearths an American economic crisis hidden in plain sight: single mothers, college students, laid-off Rust Belt auto workers, and a booming blood market at the southern border.
Her findings lead her to ask questions about her own complicity in the exploitation of others. Blood Money is an electrifying exposé of capitalism run amok.
