New career paths can be challenging, so we often seek validation and advice along the way. But the real advice lies within us. The Thin Lines takes readers through the entrepreneurial journey of Stephanie El-Chakieh, a pharmacist-turned entrepreneur, as she shares her experience of overcoming her insecurities, eating disorders, sexism, and, ultimately, herself. “The thin lines” stands for the beliefs that define different polarities concerning ideas or facts. It’s often the questions we ask ourselves when trying to understand something or when making a decision. The Thin Lines dives into the questions that most of us ask ourselves when experiencing challenges or changes, the dichotomies of emotions and facts, the thin lines between thoughts and beliefs. If you’ve ever found yourself unsure of a decision or the next step in your life, this book is for you. If you have ever experienced fear, self-doubt, and uncertainty, The Thin Lines will help you turn those emotions to your advantage and grow out of them. This book will help you become who you truly are.

Capitalizing a Cure takes readers into the struggle over a medical breakthrough to investigate the power of finance over business, biomedicine, and public health. When curative treatments for hepatitis C launched in 2013, sticker shock over their prices intensified the global debate over access to new medicines. Weaving historical research with insights from political economy and science and technology studies, Victor Roy demystifies an oft-missed dynamic in this debate: the reach of financialized capitalism into how medicines are made, priced, and valued. Roy’s account moves between public and private labs, Wall Street and corporate board rooms, and public health meetings and health centers to trace the ways in which curative medicines became financial assets dominated by strategies of speculation and extraction at the expense of access and care. Provocative and sobering, this book illuminates the harmful impact of allowing financial markets to determine who heals and who suffers and points to the necessary work of building more equitable futures.
