Shouldn’t we be building? Why does it seem like scarcity is everywhere? Derek Thompson co-author of “Abundance” with Ezra Klein and writer for the Atlantic joins to talk how we should shift politics away from the zero sum and towards growth and breakthroughs.

@DKThomp @ezraklein I think we should be redistributing what is already a case of over-abundance that the very top of society has hoarded.

𝐔𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐖𝐡𝐲 𝐇𝐚𝐫𝐫𝐢𝐬 𝐋𝐨𝐬𝐭 The liberal establishment has abandoned their base and emboldened Trump to capture voters who are disillusioned with the status quo. We need to move forward to build a legitimate working class coalition... ★ NEW ARTICLE ⬇️

@DKThomp @ezraklein Well,let see: $36 trillion+ in debt, $7 trillion in government spending last year (27% of GDP), massive waste and fraud, fear of recession- shall I go on?

@DKThomp @ezraklein I think we will see a lot of American industry spin back up. We didn't close lumber mills, because of a lack of trees. We didn't scale back gypsum quarries because we where running out of raw materials. And we are seeing car manufacturing coming back.

@DKThomp @ezraklein No mention of the abundance of fraud, waste and abuse that has plagued the federal government for years that every president has pledged to reform but failed, until now.

@DKThomp @ezraklein This is just about making a bigger pie so that larger slices can be redistributed to those who consume more than they produce.
