Acclaimed journalists Ezra Klein and Derek Thompson explain how adopting a politics of abundance can help society overcome the multitude of crises we face in the 21st century.

The beginning of the 21st century has been marked by numerous crises — a housing crisis, a global pandemic, economic disasters, and environmental collapse.

We have started to believe that there are simply not enough resources to go around: not enough money to build homes, not enough time to address the climate crisis. But what if we simply created what's needed?

Ezra Klein is an award-winning author, New York Times columnist, and podcast host.

Derek Thompson is a tech, culture, and political writer known for his work in The Atlantic and on the podcast Plain English.

In their 2025 book, Abundance, Klein and Thompson offer an optimistic yet feasible vision of a future beyond a politics of scarcity.
