Between financial capitalism and humanitarian concerns: value, price and profits of hepatitis C antivirals and artemisinin-based combinations therapies for malaria

Entre capitalisme financier et préoccupations humanitaires : valeur, prix et profit des antiviraux contre l’hépatite C et des combinaisons à base d’artémisinine contre le paludisme

Résumé

The idea of this paper is to draw a parallel between two current economies for pharmaceuticals, that exist simultaneously, eventually in conflict, or cooperating, one driven by financial capitalization of science and medicines, as regards sofosbuvir and hepatitis, and one driven by humanitarian values demanding right to health and affordable medicines for neglected diseases and populations, as regards Artemisinin based combination therapies (ACTs); the making of values, prices and profit in theses two economical models illustrates the polarization of capitalism and contemporary pharmaceutical markets. It also illustrates tensions and intertwinement between economic valuation and moral claims and values.
