Would we still have these new drugs without capitalism? There still needs to be incentive and capitalism is the best model we have for that. It's the government that needs to implement policies however to make them more available for everyone. Humans can't be relied upon to develop novel solutions for the good of everyone -- there has to be something in it for them. That's just how they operate unfortunately. Long-term solutions require the right incentives.
- actually_a_dog 5y agoWhere's the incentive if people can't afford them? You're thinking too small if you think capitalism is the only system with incentives. You're locked into the idea that capitalism is the only possible economic system, and you can't see that there can be alternatives (a.k.a. "capitalist realism"). Why do you think it's reasonable that we could fix a problem created by capitalism by doing more capitalism? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capitalist_Realism https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capitalist_Realism
