Insulin is expensive. While it costs around 10-13 dollars for manufacturers to produce insulin, big pharma companies are selling it for $250-500 dollars per month. This is because America’s warped pharmaceutical market allows three companies, Eli-Lilly, Sanofi, and Novo Nordisk, to dominate the insulin businesses and set insanely high prices for their drugs. Today I am talking to my friend Siara Patel, a freshman at Boston University and a Type 1 Diabetic. We learn about her journey living wi...

The Nostalgia Economy

I am back in my Stranger Things obsession phase...I was wondering why I am so invested and in love with this show and I know it can't just be Steve Harrington's doing. Today I wanted to talk about nostalgia's effect on the economy and consumer decision-making. So many companies, especially in the entertainment industry, do a phenomenal job of exploiting nostalgia for economic gain, and I want to dive deeper into this by dissecting the business models of both Netflix and Disney.
