Description
Living Worth: A New Theory of Value in Global Pharmaceutical Markets Stefan Ecks explores the complex relationships between value, depression, and antidepressants in this thought-provoking study. Through ethnographic research in India, Ecks develops a novel theory of value, examining how antidepressants come to have value and how this value is measured, exchanged, and redistributed. Ecks's research delves into the ways in which antidepressants are valued, including the valuation of generic and brand-name drugs, the origins of rising worldwide depression rates, and the marketing, prescription, and circulation of these medications. This book offers a fresh perspective on value, expanding our understanding of how lives and things become entangled under neoliberal capitalism.
