Now for the episode:

So, these guys Derek Thompson and Ezra Klein wrote a book about a new liberalism...a liberalism that builds. Everybody in the Democratic party seems really impressed by it, so we had to see what it was all about.

"Abundance" does not hold up.

In this episode we explore the imaginative limits of progressive capitalism, the obnoxious writing style of liberals, and the article brain pandemic.
