Abundance

The book examines why ambitious projects—from affordable housing and high-speed rail to clean energy—have become so difficult to finish in the 21st century. Klein and Thompson argue that we have moved into an era of "chosen scarcity," where rules and regulations designed to solve the problems of the 1970s have now become the barriers of the 2020s. They call for a shift in mindset: moving away from a culture that focuses on stopping things toward one that prioritizes building the "abundance" we need to thrive.
