The Wisdom of Whores

The Wisdom of Whores by Elizabeth Pisani is a 2009 Society & Culture book written by TED speaker Elizabeth Pisani, paired here with the talk they gave.

This controversial book addresses how sex and drugs have turned the global epidemic of HIV into a billion-dollar-a-year industry. Epidemiologist Elizabeth Pisani takes a no-holdsbarred approach to finding out exactly why 40 million people are living with HIV and 28 million have already died of AIDS when we have the knowledge, the money, and the means to wipe out the disease in 90 percent of the world.
