Universal Healthcare Through the Lens of Austrian Economics
Drawing on Ludwig von Mises’s Human Action, this essay argues that a society’s moral commitment to universal healthcare access is a normative choice standing outside economics — but once made, it collides with the economic reality that healthcare remains scarce, specialized, and expensive to produce. When governments promise access regardless of wealth while still allowing providers to negotiate prices freely, the resulting tension doesn’t eliminate scarcity — it just relocates where that scarcity shows up, whether in reimbursement caps, wage pressure, waiting times, or rising taxes. The United States’ unusually high healthcare spending, driven more by price than by utilization, offers suggestive real-world evidence for this dynamic, illustrating that the real policy choice isn’t ‘market versus government’ but rather which mechanism a society uses to allocate an unavoidable scarcity — and who ends up bearing its cost.
The Grid Doesn’t Wait for a Requirements Document
TenneT shows that embedding software development directly within grid operations, rather than separating “business” and IT, enables faster iteration, better use of domain knowledge, and more effective tooling.
Grid Security at Scale
TenneT achieved a 10× performance improvement in grid security analysis by building ReFlow, an orchestration platform powered by the LF Energy open source project PowSyBl. The solution reduced grid calculation times from minutes to seconds, deployed in five months, with no proprietary licensing required.
Code as a Byproduct
When code becomes a byproduct, scarcity shifts from technical execution to human imagination and adaptability.
Software Development as a Business Capability
An exploration of how domain expertise and technical execution must merge to eliminate hand-over friction and drive mission-critical innovation.
