David Tippie is a researcher and social commentator who examines the rapidly shifting landscape of modern medicine and pharmaceuticals in Collapse of Drugs. In this work, Tippie explores how economic pressures, regulatory failures, overprescription, and the growing influence of corporate interests have contributed to a system increasingly strained by addiction crises, drug shortages, and public mistrust. He also considers the rise of alternative approaches to health and wellness as a response to these failures, questioning whether the traditional pharmaceutical model is sustainable in its current form. Tippie’s analysis challenges listeners and readers to rethink how societies define treatment, healing, and responsibility in an era of medical uncertainty.
