"Abundance" by Ezra Klein & Derek Thompson


Listen Later

"Abundance" by Ezra Klein and Derek Thompson critiques the barriers hindering progress in the U.S., particularly within liberal governance. The book argues that well-intentioned regulations and entrenched interests often stifle development in areas like housing, infrastructure, and climate change.


Several sources offer reviews and analyses of Abundance's thesis, with some praising its vision for a "liberalism that builds" and others expressing concerns about its potential for deregulation and insufficient attention to issues like economic inequality and corporate power. The authors, both prominent journalists, advocate for a shift towards prioritizing tangible outcomes and increased government capacity to achieve societal goals, rather than being solely focused on ideological debates and procedural hurdles.
