Blending sharp political analysis with accessible storytelling, this paperback is essential reading for anyone interested in politics, economics or the practical steps needed to create lasting prosperity and progress.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Book:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn Abundance, Ezra Klein and Derek Thompson argue that the great crisis of our time isn't simply a battle between left and right, but a shared politics of scarcity that has left Western nations unable to build enough homes, energy infrastructure, or public transport to meet real needs. Drawing on years of reporting and research, the authors examine how well-intentioned regulation, sluggish bureaucracy and short-term thinking have combined to stall progress on housing affordability, immigration policy and the clean-energy transition. Rather than simply cataloguing failure, Klein and Thompson chart a hopeful path forward, one where liberals and progressives embrace building and inventing as much as they embrace protecting and preserving. The book has been widely praised for its clarity and ambition, becoming an instant New York Times bestseller and one of Barack Obama's favourite books of the year. It has also been shortlisted for the Financial Times and Schroders Business Book of the Year Award. Through vivid case studies covering housing shortages, infrastructure delays and the barriers to scientific innovation, the authors make a compelling case that abundance, not scarcity, should be the animating vision of modern politics. Their writing is rigorous but never dry, using real-world examples to show how better institutions and bolder thinking could unlock a future of shared prosperity. For readers who follow Klein's political commentary or Thompson's writing on culture and economics, this book distills years of their best thinking into one urgent, persuasive argument for change.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Benefits:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWritten by two of America's most respected political and economic journalists\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOffers a fresh, non-partisan framework for understanding housing, infrastructure and climate challenges\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAn instant New York Times bestseller and Obama Book of the Year pick\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShortlisted for the Financial Times and Schroders Business Book of the Year Award\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIdeal for readers of politics, economics and current affairs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMakes a great gift for policy-minded readers and book clubs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEzra Klein is a New York Times opinion columnist and co-founder of Vox, known for his incisive political journalism and popular podcast.
