LinkedIn presents. I'm Rufus Griscomb and this is the next big idea. Today, Derek Thompson's rallying cry for abundance. Every now and then a book comes out that is vitally important and perfectly timed. It's in the window of every bookstore.
Everyone's talking about it. That book right now is Abundance by Ezra Klein and Derek Thompson. Abundance, no subtitle, answers two pressing questions so many of us have in this moment of political and economic turmoil. How did we get here? And what can we do about it?
Is there a path forward that could pull our country together and address the new daunting challenges we face? Derek and Ezra's answer? Abundance, a liberalism that builds. An unapologetically pro-growth, pro-construction agenda to bring down the cost of housing, address the challenge of climate change, and accelerate the technologies that can transform our world of scarcity into one of abundance for all of us.
