Stephen Lewis video interview, part 2

Lewis talks about Occupy movement, capitalism and drug companies

In the second part of a three-part video series, Stephen Lewis speaks with Tim McCaskell about the Occupy movement, the social determinants of health and the strength of the pharmaceutical companies.

“This is the single most powerful lobby in the world,” says Lewis.

“The lobby in the United States is the most effective and the most influential of any lobby on Congress, and the power of the pharmaceutical industry, and what they say and do is without limit.”

Xtra will release the third and final installment of this series with Stephen Lewis in the coming days.
