The sectors you mentioned, healthcare, education and housing, also suffer from cost disease. While the productivity should have grown, since the emergence of tech has made all of these sectors more productive, practically they remain highly expensive! I looked into this quite a bit in my substack, and it remains a pretty interesting mystery, and probably the central one for us today.

While tech will help us move forward, it has to be said that so far the hunt for efficiencies have helped, but haven't solved for the heavy polarisation that we see - both economically and socio-politically. That remains not just a technocratic challenge, but a deeper social and political one.

I really loved this post. I think this is the ultimate goal of what we should be aiming to with our job as investors. I think that what you write here should be a manifesto across all the VC market. Narrowing the gap of inequality would be the best use of technology, talent, and capital together. I don't know how I can help, but I would happy to contribute to the discussion.
