Can economics provide any answers the the question, "what should be done about the problem of deadly bacteria developing resistence to antibiotics?" The reason I ask is it seems to be a prisoner's delimma. If everybody would forego the use of antibiotics, except in extreme circumstances, bacteria would not be able to evolve so quickly into antibiotic resistant strains. But I'm not everybody, I'm only me. I should take antibiotics whenever my health would benefit from my doing so.

There is no logical end to this elastic conception of 'security' short of the conquest of the whole world." --William Henry Chamberlin, "War - Shortcut to Fascism," American Mercury, LI, 204 (December 1940)
