I also highly recommend Yossi Kreinin's "What Worse is Better vs The Right Thing is really about" (https://yosefk.com/blog/what-worse-is-better-vs-the-right-th...)

> Some view [markets and competition] as mostly good and others as mostly evil. This is loosely aligned with the "right" and the "left" [...] I will try to show that the disagreement about markets is at the core of the conflict presented in the classic essay, The Rise of Worse is Better [...] and not the trade-off between design simplicity and other considerations as the essay states. So the essay says one thing, and I'll show you it really says something else. Seriously, I will.
