    1. @olalondeJan 2023· in “Ask HN: Concepts that clicked only years after you first encountered them?”

      It took me a long time to grasp market economics. I knew it worked somehow but I didn't quite understand why. What really made it click was Milton Friedman's "Free to Choose" TV series[0]. [0] this video

    2. @maerF0x0Aug 2024· in “Judge rules $400M algorithmic system illegally denied Medicaid benefits”

      That is also a fantastic comparison point. The same ideal is part of the idea behind UBI replacing the social welfare bureaucracy. I found this documentary "Freedom to choose" to be really interesting: this video

    3. @mattanimationAug 2023· in “Thomas Sowell's greatest insight – Konstantin Kisin [video]”

      "There are no solutions, only trade-offs" 100% based Sowell. I first heard him debate when watching Milton Friedman's "Free to Choose" series (found here: this video ) and immediately got his books.
