Abundance

‘Forceful, quick-moving … important’ - FINANCIAL TIMES

‘Abundance is one of those books that matter … filled with chilling examples but also with inspirational stories … it explains that the scarcities that afflict our economies are scarcities we have actively chosen. Making it easier to build will enable us to build a better future. But it is a future that needs to be not just argued for, but fought for’ - ROBERT COLVILE, SUNDAY TIMES

‘At a time of global realignment and uncertainty, Klein and Thompson offer a bracingly bold basis for a progressive politics and policy that is both radical and realistic. One of the most important political books I have read in the past decade’ - MATTHEW D’ANCONA, THE NEW EUROPEAN

‘Klein and Thompson want you to hold space to dream about utopia. No need to tighten the belt, they argue: We have everything we need to build the future that liberals want, clean energy and affordable housing included, today!Their book explains how’ - NEW YORK TIMES

‘Abundance reminds us that the UK isn’t the only country that has forgotten how to build [and] there is reassurance here for British readers [on] how to build millions of homes and a new green infrastructure … Klein and Thompson have sidestepped the current American political horror show to produce something original: a left-liberal manifesto for deregulation, or as they call it, “a liberalism that builds”. Only that can create green-fuelled abundance’ - SIMON KUPER, NEW STATESMAN
