Ebola: capitalism's latest epidemic

Why is Ebola, a virus spread by bats and prevented by contact precautions, killing thousands? Why has there been so little effort from pharmaceutical companies to find a cure? And why is the US sending troops to West Africa under the guise of fighting it?
 
Join a discussion on the environmental, social and economic causes of Ebola, why capitalism is making it worse, and alternatives to preventing this and other epidemics.
