Examines how conflicts of interest, both institutional and individual, have become pervasive in the science world, and explores the troubling state of research funding and flaws in the peer-review process. It looks in depth at the dominance of several specific theories, including the Big Bang cosmology, human-caused global warming, HIV as a cause of AIDS, and the efficacy of anti-depressant drugs.
