But I am suggesting that these developed drugs do become part of the public domain! Let the government develop it and let anyone who meets manufacturing standards manufacture it. It sucks when Japan does that to cars, but it would suck a lot less if Japan did that for lifesaving pharmaceuticals. In that case it’s not an investment in technology that could be used to strengthen the economy directly, but instead an investment in public health (which will of course benefit the economy indirectly)
- dgzl 8y agoI love the spirit, but "let the government do it" usually means contacting. Edit: which is considerably more expensive than it should be.
- opportune 8y agoThe gov. could "contract" the way they do with research grants, and could also expand the FDA/NIH to do more in house. Traditional government contracting sucks, I fully agree
