WATCH: Steps toward an abundant world

We just had our final discussion of Ezra Klein and Derek Thompson’s Abundance with the Book Club, and the group heard from several members of the Club (readers Selena, Susan Miville, and Vinu Ilakkuvan joined us Live) about what they saw as the first steps in implementing the book’s ambitious visions — the beginnings of a map from today’s crises to tomorrow’s solutions. With suggestions on everything from civic education and local elections to healthcare reform and city planning, it was a conversation full of possibility, a great way to close out our Abundance reading, and a reminder of how much we’re all looking forward to discussing the next book. So look out for our Sunday post and then our next Live discussion next Wednesday. Join the club!
