Ezra Klein's new book, co-authored with Derek Thompson, envisions a brighter future filled with clean energy and innovation. By describing a near-future utopia marked by abundant resources and minimal environmental impact, the authors encourage a movement away from bureaucratic hindrances. Klein reflects on the stark contrast between this hopeful vision and the current political climate, especially in light of the challenges posed by past and potential future administrations. Their argument emphasizes the need for proactive governance to enable progress.
'This is what we can look forward to, they say, if we sweep away the bureaucratic cobwebs that mean government too often gets in the way of innovation, rather than leading it.'
'Somewhat reassuringly, his delivery is a bit more hesitant than on his podcast, the Ezra Klein Show, in which he holds forth in perfectly formed sentences.'
