autocrats - it's a lack of effective action by so-called progressives. 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.
