How do we get an Abundance Agenda? ft. Derek Thompson & Suraj Patel

What is the Abundance Agenda and how do we get there? Atlantic writer and author Derek Thompson and former Congressional candidate Suraj Patel join the show to discuss how to build an abundant society.  Are the problems we're facing problems of scarcity?  If the things we need like medical care, housing, and child care are getting scarcer and more expensive, why is the supply so low?  How can we increase the supply of those things?  And most importantly - how can we build a winning political coalition for the ideas that will increase supply and build abundance?
