The year 2015 is the fiftieth anniversary of the publication of Gary Becker's paper "A Theory of the Allocation of Time," in the 1965 volume of The Economic Journal.  To mark that occasion, the Editors of the journal Health Economics invited me to write an editorial that focuses on the importance of that paper in the history and evolution of the field of health economics.  The editorial is attached.  You may enjoy reading it. 

Best regards,
Mike
