Here's why - how I hate these titles.
Regarding drug supply shortage. There needs to be some redundancy but also some partial autarky. The concentration of manufacturing in India and China is concerning. Yes, this has a cost but it's probably not as much as most people think.
I was very surprised to learn autarky/autarchy is a word. Thanks for expanding my vocabulary!
