Research by John Gray, the Dean’s Distinguished Professor of Operations at Fisher, found a 54% higher likelihood of "severe adverse events," including hospitalization, disability and death, tied to generic drugs made in India versus in the U.S. He's advocating for more transparency on where medicines are manufactured and by whom.

Inflation is up and job creation down, but the U.S. economy could still pull through without too much pain.
