\”If we can\’t deliver free drugs to poor people, I don\’t think there is much else we can do in international health,\” he said.
Yes, it\’s the planners and bureaucrats again.
The drug companies are offering billions of doses, for free, of the drugs that cure/treat various tropical and poor world diseases. And yet those bureaucrats and planners cannot actually manage to dispense them.

Just been re-reading Hayek’s Road To Serfdom. The language is 1940s English, but words are as true today as then.
I wonder if anyone has tried to bring the book up-to-date to the writing style of the short attention span Internet era?
Dan Hannan has written a book called The New Road to Serfdom in the form of a letter to the US. I haven’t read it but it was discussed on a Cato podcast and is on the wishlist.
