Can Abundance be... Abundant? With Tahra Hoops and Gary Winslett from the Chamber of Progress and The Rebuild
In this kickoff episode of our Abundance series, we’re asking the big question: Can abundance actually be abundant?
We’re unpacking the buzzy optimism of Ezra Klein and Derek Thompson’s “abundance agenda” and confronting the messy realities of implementing it. From housing fights in California to cost-of-living politics, and permitting bottlenecks to the psychology of scarcity, our guests Tahra Hoops and Gary Winslett of the Chamber of Progress (and writers of The Rebuild) join us to explore what it takes to move from rhetoric to results.
Together, we question whether abundance can scale beyond think pieces, and how cities, states, and everyday people can actually build toward a future where “enough for everyone” isn’t just a slogan. Because right now, as Sam puts it, “we’re barely scratching the surface of what abundance means in practice.”
