Health Care Spending
Mainly Macro: Health spending over time
In 1970 health spending was between 4-6% of GDP in these 5 countries, but by 2016 it was between 9-16% of GDP. (There is a definitional break in the UK series in 2013: there was no leap of spending in 2013 as earlier graphs show.) If there is any organisational lesson here, it is not to run a health service in the way they do in the US. It is indicative of the mess the world is currently in that politicians are busy trying to dismantle the positive recent reforms in the US and key politicians in the UK have once talked about making the UK health system more US like.

Trump
A pretty good summary of the US by Barry Ritholtz, inspired by Trump. Trump the Revealer
TeaBagistan
The Southernization of the Midwest
Capitalism - Socialism
The Scandinavian Style of Capitalism - Every person in the "liberal" media should read this. Right-wingers and Fox don't care to.
