I fundamentally disagree with your argument. Economics that disregards human nature is somewhere between callous and incorrect.
Just looks at his face... I could know nothing else about him and I'd still want to throat punch him. Just based on his face.
The fraud doesn't help
And you can't reference capitalism and then tell people not to "get political"
Sure, but you're creating a false dichotomy there - between emotion and rational views of the markets. Behavioral economics and some level of empathy don't preclude rational analysis of markets, they just extend economics beyond mathematics.
If you ignore all the bullshit the media says, what he does is actually very good for the world but he acts like a troll. He specializes in extremely rare diseases that large pharmaceutical won't spend the r&d on. He bought the rights for an old drug that is used for a very rare disease (media will claim it's still being used for hiv, but it hasn't been for 20+ yrs), upped the price by 1000% for insurered patients, and uses the profit to do r&d for more very rare diseases. He just trolls people about it
I don't think egotism is a sufficient word to describe him. Also, unfettered capitalism doesn't go down well with people when it means life-saving medications become insanely expensive.
The only good wrap is Saran
Fair point. "Life saving" drugs is irrelevant in terms of capitalism though, it's just a product/widget. No need to appeal to emotions in an economic discussion. Is it political though? Liberal doesn't necessarily mean anti-capitalism, and conservative sure doesn't either
Fair, we have differing view points. I'd argue, that being unimpaired by emotion is crucial for a markets success. Agree to disagree.
Are you kidding me?
He paid consultants (pricing) first and politicians(price protection) next. Big mistake. Always should be the opposite
