Not tech related but...
Uncertainty and the Welfare Economics of Medical Care by Kenneth Arrow (1963) [1].

If you're remotely interested in health econ/health industry, I recommend reading it.

- nooron 12y agoBig fan. Have you read Norm Daniels' Just Health? It's a riff off a Rawls/Social Contract world view, and it really spoke to me.
- dikek 12y agoIt has been on my list of books to read since I saw it on the Incidental Economist blog years ago. Thanks for giving me the push I needed to read it.
- nooron 12y agoMy pleasure. Shoot me an email at jordan at birnholtz dot com if you'd like any notes or supplementary texts (or just a friendly chat about the subject).
