  • Build, Baby, Build | Abundance by Ezra Klein & Derek Thompson [Book Discussion & Summary]
    May 20 2025

    🏗️ Can liberalism learn to build again?


    In Abundance, Ezra Klein and Derek Thompson argue that America's progressive movement has become too focused on regulation and redistribution, neglecting the need to actively build housing, infrastructure, and clean energy. They propose an "abundance agenda" that emphasizes removing bureaucratic obstacles to enable growth and innovation. Through case studies like California's stalled high-speed rail project, the authors illustrate how well-intentioned policies have led to stagnation. This book challenges readers to reconsider the balance between regulation and progress in pursuit of a more prosperous future.
