I just added Tom Scocca from Slate to the blogroll and recommend about half his posts.  He has a variety of interests, but the most recent posts I think you should read are:

Pharmaceutical Industry Near Collapse Because It Is Stupid and Incredibly Bad at its Business.
The pharmaceutical industry is an easy target for pillory, with its years of collecting rents on patents, its sawing away at the branch of the medical research tree on which it lives (e.g. this case), its veeery grudging acceptance that selling aids drugs to people who can't pay at only a modest profit on the cost of manufacture instead of a ludicrous profit on the cost of CEO ego-stroking salaries, is possible. But it may be that the FDA is smartening up and more of their fraudulence is being caught and so the failure to find new drugs may not be that they've become stupid.  Let's hope it's that non-corporate interests are getting better at keeping them honest, and they're falling back on the capitalists last line of defence: "we can't cope, you have to change it back to when we were allowed to cheat everyone!"  Still, with Gene Patents, they can probably sue us all for infringing if we come down with one of the genetic syndromes they own.
