"Economics must be at work. Consider Jean-Baptiste Say's famous insight that supply creates its own demand. We know this to be true about, for instance, personal computers: There was never and demand for PCs until Steve Jobs put one on the market and persuaded consumers it was something they should have. Just so with depression: Is there a country on earth where Prozac is more widely prescribed, or therapy more readily available, than the US?"
