Why does it feel like America can't build anymore? In Abundance, Ezra Klein and Derek Thompson confront one of the defining paradoxes of our time: despite greater awareness of the problems we face—housing shortages, climate change, worker scarcity—our ability to solve them has stalled. This timely book explores how decades-old policies, designed to prevent harm, now stand in the way of meaningful progress.

This chapter-by-chapter summary distills Klein and Thompson's urgent case for a new political mindset—one that embraces building, innovation, and pragmatic reform. From zoning laws and energy infrastructure to immigration and public trust, Abundance charts a clear path toward a society that not only identifies problems but is empowered to fix them.

Whether you're a policymaker, civic leader, or concerned citizen, this summary offers a sharp, accessible guide to reimagining what government, progress, and abundance can look like in the 21st century.
