Summary

Why does everything feel so expensive, slow, and impossible to fix? In this thought-provoking conversation, Andrew and Derek Thompson dive into Abundance, a groundbreaking new book with a bold vision for rebuilding prosperity. Thompson exposes how America’s biggest problems—housing crises, stalled innovation, and broken institutions—are self-inflicted. They reveal how we got here, and who’s really to blame (hint: it's not who you think), and, most importantly, how we can break free from the politics of scarcity to build a future of abundance in America.
