Abundance, is a timely book written by popular writer/podcasters Ezra Klein and Derek Thompson. The book focuses on some of the well-intentioned ideals of left-wing liberals that have gone astray and helped create some of the problems that the US (and Canada) are facing today. Some of the problems covered are green energy, the housing crises, invention, governance and deployment. Rules and regulations have sprouted up over the years to slow down progress on many of these issues that has helped lead to crises that nations are now having face.
While I’m not well versed in political opinion books, it was fascinating to read this as the new Trump administration takes over in the US and Canada held its recent elections. Many of the topics discussed in Abundance have been front and centre across North America as governments try to grapple with these issues, especially housing. Abundance does not focus on opinions on how to solve these problems, instead it presents the history of how we got here. It is a fascinating read while individuals navigate through these turbulent times of both right and left wing agendas.
