​📚 Join us as we delve into Abundance: The New Left and the Future of Progress by Ezra Klein and Derek Thompson. This insightful book examines the barriers hindering progress in the United States, particularly in areas like affordable housing, infrastructure, and climate change. The authors argue that well-intentioned regulations have inadvertently stymied development and propose an “Abundance Agenda” to balance necessary regulations with societal advancement.
