本文的问题的创业反应的就业不稳定的条件下，由“健康志愿者”在美国的I期临床试验的影响。这些人通常是连续参与者，他们通常认为自己是专业志愿者，并将药物研究作为其主要收入来源。利用广泛的定性研究，本文说明了健康的志愿者如何选择性地进口的身份“骗子”从街头环境和重新定位它作为一组有价值的创造性技能，使他们比其他参与者的竞争优势。创业精神使他们能够将个人牺牲和接触潜在危险的药物视为明智的投资，从而实现财务稳定的未来。这些话语性的举动使剥削性的、有时是非人性化的劳资关系正常化，将费用和风险转嫁给工人。
This paper questions the implications of entrepreneurial responses to conditions of employment precarity by ‘healthy volunteers’ in phase I clinical trials in the United States. Such individuals are typically serial participants who often identify as professional volunteers and seek out drug studies as their primary source of income. Drawing on extensive qualitative research, this paper illustrates how healthy volunteers selectively import the identity of ‘hustler’ from the street environment and reposition it as connoting a set of valuable creative skills that give them a competitive edge over other participants. An entrepreneurial ethos allows them to view personal sacrifice and exposure to potentially dangerous drugs as smart investments leading to financially stable futures. These discursive moves normalize extractive, and at times dehumanizing, labour relations that offload expenses and risks to workers.
