Why read it?

3 authors picked Abundance as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

This book resonated with many thoughts I've had after immigrating to the USA over a decade ago. It is a story of how, when it comes to policy, good intentions can often lead to bad outcomes, from work shortage to the housing crisis, and from infrastructure to clean air. It is an engaging and insightful discussion, from which both liberals and conservatives can learn a lot.

Love Klein's way of helping me to understand why so many good ideas to solve our country's problems do not work and ideas on how to support efforts to change this.

This book makes such a clear and obvious (in hindsight) case for changing the role of government to better serve our people and our planet. It distinguishes the strategies of the major US parties, and suggests a new approach that is inspiring, achievable, and gives me hope for the future.
