The portrayal of pharmaceutical companies begins with calling them ‘big’. This has passed into our culture as an implicit word for ‘evil’. Think ‘Big Oil’, ‘Big Pharma’, ‘Big Automakers’.

I’ve always been curious - where are the ‘little’ versions of these companies? If there are none, then why attach an adjective? Only to imply something, of course!

The amount of capital necessary to run a pharmaceutical test is too much for a small company.
