TL;DR — Ezra Klein and Derek Thompson argue that American liberalism made it too hard to build housing, energy and infrastructure, and call for a politics focused on supply.
Published by Avid Reader Press (Simon & Schuster) in March 2025. After an introduction titled “Beyond Scarcity,” the book has five chapters — Grow, Build, Govern, Invent, Deploy — and a conclusion, “Toward Abundance.”
The authors argue that rules, procedures and lawsuits, many adopted by the left, have made it slow and costly to build homes, clean energy and public works, and to turn scientific advances into deployed technology. They propose judging policy by whether it produces enough of what people need.
