    Abstract

    Throughout recent history, the pharmaceutical industry has seen rapid modernization and globalization. The threat of disease, access to medicine for the poor, and rising health care costs have created a debate between generic drugs and their name brand counterparts. Looking at the historical evolution of the pharmaceutical industry allows for a better understanding of modern pharmaceutical issues. Generic and name brand drugs each have advantages and finding a compromise between patent protections and cheap generic drug production is the solution to modern global health issues.
