Abundance : How We Build a Better Future

The real threat to liberal democracy isn't just autocrats - but a lack of effective action by so-called progressives.

There is a word that describes the future we want: abundant.
We imagine a future not of less but of more

MOST-ANTICIPATED BOOK OF 2025 - FINANCIAL TIMES and the NEXT BIG IDEA CLUB

We have the means to build an equitable world without hunger, fuelled by clean energy. Instead, we have a politics driven by scarcity, lives defined by unaffordability and public institutions that no longer deliver on big ideas. It's time for change.

Bestselling authors Ezra Klein and Derek Thompson have spent decades analysing the political, economic and cultural forces that have led us here. In this once-in-a-generation intervention, they unpick the barriers to progress and show how we can, and must, shift the political agenda to one that not only protects and preserves, but also builds. From healthcare to housing, infrastructure to innovation, they lay out a path to a future defined not by fear, but by abundance.
