i’m for replacement of means-tested transfers, but not all programs, e.g. health care (precisely bc a domain i/w mkt don’t work.)

re: healthcare as domain in which mkt doesn't work, what do you think of Baumol's "cost disease" take on that?

i think it’s silly. few domains whose practice has changed technologically/organizationally more than HC. not a violin quartet.

Replying to
aha, but not all tech change created equal. Govt as customer (via regulatory control) means mainly sustaining innovation.

yes. agreed. but i think that’s a very different phenomenon than BCD. change actively misshapen rather than stasis in a changing env.
