Reviews
"Radder has written a clear and compelling examination of how to address the commodification of science. He discusses such difficult issues as the relationship between science and technology, the nature of scientific knowledge, and the nature of public interest, building an argument for how science should be redirected to serve the public interest, particularly with respect to patenting practices."- Heather Douglas, Michigan State University
"In this important and stimulating book, Hans Radder shows why science and technology should be evaluated and governed, not as economic commodities, but with regard to their potential contribution to the common good. Integrating conceptual, normative, and empirical analysis, Radder goes beyond familiar critiques of commodification and offers a meticulous defense of a promising alternative."- Mark B. Brown, California State University, Sacramento
