[PEN-L:27238] Prozac & Productivity

[Eugene Coyle <eugenecoyle@xxxxxxx>]

A WSJ columnist, Holman Jenkins, today praised Prozac et al for raising
worker productivity.  The suggestion is that the jump in prescriptions
over the past years have resulted in a jump in productivity.  And as the
economy moves more toward service work, involving meeting customers,
future gains will result if we get more of the work force on Effexor and
Prozac.  Holman quotes $ gains provided by others.

The column was not titled "Brave New World."
