This is in response to Matt Levine's somewhat jokey article about the possibility that Ozempic would be bad for the american economy. Brian Albrecht took the question seriously, my favorite excerpt was the simple way to tell if something is "good for the economy", you ask "will this change make it less costly to produce value for people?". The final part comparing with dialysis was good too.
