From bestselling authors and journalistic titans, Ezra Klein and Derek Thompson, Abundance is a once-in-a-generation, paradigm-shifting call to rethink big, entrenched problems that seem mired in systemic scarcity: from climate change to housing, education to healthcare. To trace the global history of the twenty-first century so far is to trace a history of growing unaffordability and shortage. After years of refusing to build sufficient housing, the entire country has a national housing crisis. After years of slashing immigration, we don't have enough workers. After decades of off-shoring manufacturing, we have a shortage of chips for cars and computers. Despite decades of being warned about the consequences of climate change, we haven't built anything close to the clean energy infrastructure we need. The crisis that's clicking into focus now has been building for decadesbecause we haven't been building enough. Abundance explains that our problems today are not the results of yesteryear's villains. Rather, one generation's solutions have become the next generation's problems. Rules and regulations designed to solve the environmental problems of the 1970s often prevent urban density and green energy projects that would help solve the environmental problems of the 2020s. Laws meant to ensure that government considers the consequences of its actions in matters of education and healthcare have made it too difficult for government to act consequentially. In the last few decades, our capacity to see problems has sharpened while our ability to solve them has diminished. Progress requires the ability to see promise rather than just peril in the creation of new ideas and projects, and an instinct to design systems and institutions that make building possible. In a book exploring how can move from a liberalism that not only protects and preserves but also builds, Klein and Thompson trace the political, economic, and cultural barriers to progress and how we can adopt a mindset directed toward abundance, and not scarcity, to overcome them.

PRAISE FOR WHY WE'RE POLARIZED BY EZRA KLEIN
"Polarization is the story of American politics today. It affects almost every aspect of American political life and has been studied by scholars from many different angles, with dozens of good historical and experimental approaches. Wouldn't it be great if someone would digest all these studies, synthesize them and produce a readable book that makes sense of it all? Ezra Klein has done just that with his compelling new work, Why We're Polarized. . . . Powerful [and] intelligent." -Fareed Zakaria, CNN
"Why We're Polarized delivers. . . . What Klein adds especially to [is] our understanding of how we got here-why Trump is more a vessel for our division than the cause, and why his departure will not provide any magical cure. . . . A thoughtful, clear and persuasive analysis." -Norman Ornstein, New York Times Book Review
"Superbly researched and written . . . Why We're Polarized provides a highly useful guide to this most central of political puzzles, digesting mountains of social science research and presenting it in an engaging form. . . . An overall outstanding volume." -Francis Fukuyama, The Washington Post
"Brilliant and wide-ranging. A book about what just might be our central, perhaps fatal problem. This is the kind of book you find yourself arguing with out loud as you read it and will stick in your head long after you've finished. Absolutely crucial for understanding this perilous moment." -Chris Hayes, host of "All In with Chris Hayes" on MSNBC and author of A Colony in a Nation
"Klein's careful book explains how different groups of Americans can see politics through such different lenses, examining how various psychological mechanisms allow committed partisans to rationalize almost anything their party does. . . . This book fully displays the attributes that have made Klein's journalism so successful." -Dan Hopkins, Washington Post
"Eye-opening . . . Klein's brilliant diagnosis and prescription provide a path to understanding-and healing." -O Magazine
"A fascinating book, rich in politics, history, psychology and more." -David Leonhardt, New York Times
"Well worth reading." -Andrew Sullivan, New York magazine
PRAISE FOR HIT MAKERS BY DEREK THOMPSON
"Enthralling-full of 'aha' moments about why some ideas soar and others never get off the ground. This book picks up where The Tipping Point left off." -Adam Grant, New York Times bestselling author of Think Again
"A wonderful book . . . While giving Lady Luck her due, Thompson studiously examines the myriad factors that make the things we buy, like, and follow so irresistible: whether Facebook, TV shows such as Seinfeld, Bumble (the app, not the insect), even favorite lullabies. In Hit Makers, his first book, Thompson tackles this mystery with solid research, ready wit, and catchy aphorisms." -USA Today
"Superb." -Fareed Zakaria, CNN Book of the Week selection
"Hit Makers is thoughtful and thorough, a compelling book. . . . A terrific look at what makes a hit, from the Mona Lisa to Donald Trump." -Vox
"Fascinating . . . Thompson has huge enthusiasm for his topic and has amassed an amazing amount of material, including many offbeat and engaging stories. . . . [Should] be read for insight and provocation." -Financial Times
"Derek Thompson has long been one of the brightest new voices in American journalism. With Hit Makers, he becomes one of the brightest new voices in the world of non-fiction books. Ranging from Impressionist art to German lullabies to Game of Thrones, Hit Makers offers a fresh and compelling take on how the media function and how ideas spread. As deftly written as it is keenly argued, this book-true to its title-is a hit." -Daniel H. Pink, New York Times bestselling author of When
