🌟 Welcome to another episode of BOOKKAST - Bestsellers in Minutes! Today we dive deep into one of the most thought-provoking and timely books of recent years: "Abundance" by Ezra Klein and Derek Thompson.

🔍 In this episode, we explore how Abundance challenges the dominant narrative of scarcity and calls for a radical reimagining of our political, social, and technological ambitions. The authors argue that the real path forward lies not in cutting back, but in building more—more homes, more energy, more innovation, and more opportunities.

🏙️ Drawing on examples from housing, infrastructure, energy, and scientific research, Abundance is a powerful manifesto for an optimistic, productive, and action-driven liberalism. This book redefines what it means to govern, innovate, and progress in the 21st century.

💡 Topics covered in this episode:

• Why scarcity is a limiting story—and how abundance changes everything.
• How institutional failure is holding back progress.
