Abundance

America faces crises in housing, labor, and clean energy, stemming from decades of insufficient building. This book argues that current problems are not due to past villains, but rather that yesterday's solutions have become today's obstacles. Regulations designed for the 1970s now hinder progress on urban density and green energy. The book explores how our ability to identify problems has outpaced our capacity to solve them, urging both liberals and conservatives to acknowledge governmental failures and necessities for true progress.
