On this edition of Parallax Views, writer and political theorist Malcolm Harris joins us to unpack his sharp critique of the so-called Abundance Agenda, popularized by Ezra Klein and Derek Thompson. Harris argues that this vision—focused on building more housing, expanding clean energy, and turbocharging innovation—fails to confront the structural contradictions of capitalism and the political realities of class struggle. It's a vision of progress that avoids asking who builds, who benefits, and who decides.
We then turn to What’s Left, Harris’s ambitious new book that outlines three strategic responses to the planetary crisis: marketcraft, public power, and communism. Harris doesn’t call for ideological purity—he calls for coordination. What does democratic planning look like in an age of disaster—and how do we get there together?
