Capitalism usually works, but the consequences aren’t always what we want.
We’ve been putting pressure on China, India and Pakistan to crack down on the fake and duplicated drug trade. Some of the drugs are truly fake, others are overruns from factories that actually produce them and are sold “on the side”. We’ve actually achieved success with these three countries in stemming the flow.
Those who make them haven’t stopped though. They’ve merely moved production someplace else.
