Not tech related but...

Uncertainty and the Welfare Economics of Medical Care by Kenneth Arrow (1963) [1].

This paper effectively makes the case that medical care shouldn't be treated like other goods.

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

Big 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.

It 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.
