The document is a selection of verses from the biblical book of Ecclesiastes. It discusses that fearing God and keeping His commandments is the whole duty of man. It also lists several pairs of opposites to illustrate that there is a time and season for everything under heaven. Some of the pairs mentioned are times for being born and dying, planting and uprooting, weeping and laughing, and war and peace. The overall message seems to be about accepting the cycles of life and finding purpose and meaning through obeying God.
Demand and Supply Disequilibrium of Gilead’s Sovaldietcases
This case flyer and the accompanying article1 can be used to introduce the participants/students to the concepts of Law of Demand, Law of Supply and the elusive equilibrium between demand and supply. Presented through an intriguing, yet quite prevalent phenomenon, this case flyer debates on the high price differentials for a Hepatitis-C drug, Sovaldi. Produced by Gilead, while Sovaldi is sold at $84,000 for a 12-week treatment in the US, the same drug is available at $1000 in India. Mylan Pharmaceuticals - one of the five Indian generic drug manufacturers allowed to manufacture and distribute Sovaldi in India - makes it available at $1000. Enamored with huge price differentials, customers like Greg Jefferys from Australia, travel all the way to India for treatment. All at a total cost of $3000 which includes travel, boarding and lodging during the treatment. What explains this spiraling price differential? How can there ever be equilibrium between demand for and supply of Sovaldi? Can there be an equilibrium market clearance price?
