“…48 As Kahn has shown, issued patents that deploy "black" and "African-American" are most frequent, followed closely by "Caucasian" patents. 49 While 0 racial/ethnic biomedical patents were issued between 1976 and 1997, 7 "African-American/black" While some might argue that BiDil no longer warrants attention since it represents a failed business model, it is clear that this case has set important precedents for future attempts to resuscitate failed drugs as racial medicines, buttressed by race-based biomedical patents and race-specific clinical trials. patents and 6 "Caucasian/white" patents were issued during 1998-2007.…”

BiDil, a heart failure drug for African Americans, emerged five years ago as the first FDA approved drug targeted at a specific racial group. While critical scholarship and the popular media have meticulously detailed the history of BiDil from its inauspicious beginnings as a generic combination drug for the general population to its dramatic resuscitation as a racial medicine, the enthusiastic support shown by some African American interest groups has been too little understood, as has their argument that BiDil was an important response to race‐based health disparities. In this essay, we show how the drugmaker, NitroMed, used the support it had solicited from black advocacy groups and community members to market BiDil as a unique “grassroots” pharmaceutical to the African American community. We go on to situate BiDil, which relied on a domestic, U.S.‐centered conception of race, within the context of the global nature of both race and health disparities. Ironically, the grassroots angle of the BiDil case ultimately obscured the global crisis in health disparities. Furthermore, we argue that the grassroots model initiated by NitroMed should be taken note of, as it marks a potential avenue for the marketing of other drugs in the future.

“…Vehicles are expensive and routes with many riders are more cost effective (interviews Penman, Daly, Gaige, Patterson). 12 Generally women are disproportionately more likely to end up with shifts that are incompatible with available childcare because of low seniority, sometimes due to interruption of work to take care of children (Kahn and Blum 1998). Even when workers patch together formal and informal services (sometimes leaving children alone), sustainable development goals are not achieved because of the impact of the stress of juggling childcare services for parents and living in the patchwork system for children.…”

Economic Stratification and Environmental Management: A Case Study of the New York City Catskill/Delaware Watershed

Long run success in watershed management requires understanding of how economic stratification and social values affect water quality protection. Feedback effects on water quality are produced by three aspects of economic well-being: income levels, quality of life and inequality, including the effects of gender based inequality. In the US emphasis on individualistic values leads to reliance on local and private policy solutions to social problems. Analysis of the context of New York City's internationally famous watershed agreement with communities 120 miles distant provides a case study of these relationships. The nature of economic stratification in these upstate communities and the insufficient response of social policies were an impediment to achieving New York City's water quality goals. As a consequence the City's watershed agreement contains direct economic aid to Watershed communities. The Agreement does not address all stratification issues. Some call for solutions beyond the local level and an approach that benefits from the European emphasis on community. It is in the interest of watershed managers to broaden the scope of their concerns to understand and support state and national programs which address problems created by economic stratification. The expansion of the European Union increases the relevance of these lessons for Europe.
