Free Audiobook : Abundance, by Ezra Klein and Derek Thompson

Imagine a world where we don’t just scrape by, but actually have enough, more than enough, of what we need. That’s the tantalizing vision Ezra Klein and Derek Thompson chase in "Abundance", a bold call to rethink how we’ve been tackling America’s biggest headaches, like housing shortages and a warming planet. These two sharp minds, known for cutting through the noise at The New York Times and The Atlantic, argue that we’ve been stuck in a rut, tripped up by our own rules and a mindset that’s more about clinging to less than dreaming of more.

They take you on a journey through the messes we’ve made, not to point fingers, but to figure out why we’re not building the future we keep saying we want. From cities choked by red tape to clean energy projects that never get off the ground, Klein and Thompson peel back the layers of what’s holding us back. It’s not about tech we don’t have or money we can’t find; it’s about the choices we’ve locked ourselves into, and the stories we tell about what’s possible.

Listening to "Abundance" feels like sitting down with two friends who’ve done their homework and want you in on the conversation. They don’t promise easy fixes, but they do offer a spark, a way to see past the scarcity we’ve settled for. By the end, you’ll be wondering: what if we stopped fighting over crumbs and started baking a bigger pie? It’s a question that lingers, tugging at your imagination long after the narration fades.
