SHORTLISTED FOR THE FINANCIAL TIMES AND SCHRODERS BUSINESS BOOK OF THE YEAR AWARD 2025
THE INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER AND OBAMA BOOK OF THE YEAR
'A must-read for progressives' - BARACK OBAMA
'Downing Street's current hot read' - ANDREW MARR
'Forceful, quick-moving, important' - FINANCIAL TIMES
The threat to liberal democracy isn't just autocrats - it's a lack of effective action by so-called progressives. We have the means to build an equitable world without hunger, fuelled by clean energy. Instead, we have a politics driven by scarcity, lives defined by unaffordability, and public institutions that no longer deliver on big ideas. It's time for change.
Bestselling authors Ezra Klein and Derek Thompson have spent decades analysing the political, economic, and cultural forces that have led us here. In this once-in-a-generation intervention, they unpick the barriers to progress and show how we can, and must, shift the political agenda to one that not only protects and preserves, but also builds.
From healthcare to housing, infrastructure to innovation, they lay out a path to a future defined not by fear, but by abundance.
