As market and political conditions slowly push the R&D pharma industry out of the US, the epicenter will gradually re-establish iteself in Asia over the next couple of decades. The current feeding frenzy over pharma practices intentionally ignores anything positive and makes it appear that the U.S. environment couldn't possibly get any worse. But I wonder how things will be when the global drugs industry is controlled by elements of the Chinese military and Pfizer is kicked out of the top-dog spot by outfits with names like the "Shanghai #7 Pharmaceutical Factory". I guess the answer lies in part with how profitable the American market remains and on the future strength of the U.S. dollar. (Gulp). I’m printing this out for my “Omens of Things to Come File”.
