Description - Abundance: THE INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER and SHORTLISTED FOR THE FT BUSINESS BOOK AWARD: How We Build a Better Future by Ezra Klein
* SHORTLISTED FINANCIAL TIMES BUSINESS BOOK OF THE YEAR 2025 *
The real threat to liberal democracy isn't autocrats - it's the lack of effective action by progressives.
In Abundance, veteran journalists Ezra Klein and Derek Thompson reveal the structural, economic and political forces that have led to the America, and much of the liberal world, of today: where scarcity and preservation drive the agenda, and we have forgotten how to deliver on big ideas.
Decades of slashing immigration, off-shoring manufacture, preventing house-building and stalling ambitious infrastructure projects like high-speed rail means America has a shortage of workers, houses, innovative products and climate-change solutions. It's a story repeated across the Western World. To progress on the greatest challenges of our time, from housing to climate change, healthcare to infrastructure, progressives need a vision of abundance, and the ability and willingness to enact transformative strategies. Here, the authors lay out the barriers to consequential action, and how we can overcome them to actively build a better, more abundant future.
