documentary
The sordid story of how Western Big Pharma kept the prices of AIDS-fighting antivirals high for profits even though this meant thousands of third world people suffered and died. Drugs which cost pennies to make sold for $30-$40. But. hey, isn't that what capitalism's all about?
The great irony is that more than 70% of the drugs sold by these companies were actually developed and paid for by government agencies so the standard rationale for high prices is completely false. Greed is not good. Greed doesn't work. Time for change.
