Helping my Sister with a report for her business ethics class...

[Solon]

basically we need help with sources, mostly books. Her teacher gave her some sources, such as Freakonomics, The Shock Doctrine, The Corporation: Pathology of Commerce, etc. I just need more. Basically she needs about 5 sources at least one of them being a book, for a 10 page report, not due in a month, so we're not in too much of a hurry. She's thinking about concentrating on the Health Insurance industry, so we're looking for books on that. Right now we are getting ready to watch "SiCKO" by Michael Moore. She hasn't watched it yet. Just looking for some suggestions from people who are probably a hell of a lot more well read than I am.

1. I can give you one on the Pharma Industry:

The Truth About Drug Companies, by Marcia Angell, MD, former editor of the New England Journal of Medicine. Excellent book.

2. Cool, thanks...

I'm just bereft of books about the health care industry, thanks for the suggestion! :)

3. Other levitt pieces

Try some of Levitt's published pieces in journals. They're generally not too technical- or if they are, they're written for non-economists comprehension
