Lessons from the
Covid War
The Power
Broker by Robert Caro. This had been on my shelf for a
while, and I tackled it while down with Covid. I was inspired
in part by stories Caro tells in his Working,
a much shorter book, and one that exposes his power and skill
as a writer.
- People Count, Susan Landau. Also security adjacent. A foolish constancy is the hobgolblin of little minds.
- Irrationality in Health Care Douglas E Hough, and I look forward to the followup, Irrationality in Amazon pricing!
