Geoff Riley
6th November 2016
This is a truly fabulous and brilliant article on health economics and changing social norms from Atul Gawande (a hat tip @DianeCoyle1859 for the link) - germ theory and behavioural economics.
Read: Slow Ideas: Some innovations spread fast. How do you speed the ones that don’t? From the New Yorker Magazine.
