X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:<p>Join West End Library staff for a discussi
 on of Ezra Klein and Derek Thompson's book Abundance.</p>\n<p>Description:
 </p>\n<p>Abundance explains that our problems today are not the results of
  yesteryear&rsquo\;s villains. Rather\, one generation&rsquo\;s solutions 
 have become the next gener&shy\;ation&rsquo\;s problems. Rules and regulat
 ions designed to solve the problems of the 1970s often prevent urban-densi
 ty and green-energy projects that would help solve the problems of the 202
 0s. Laws meant to ensure that government considers the consequences of its
  actions have made it too difficult for government to act consequentially.
  In the last few decades\, our capacity to see problems has sharpened whil
 e our ability to solve them has diminished.</p>\n<p>Progress requires faci
 ng up to the institutions in life that are not working as they need to. It
  means\, for liberals\, recognizing when the government is failing. It mea
 ns\, for conservatives\, recognizing when the government is needed. In a b
 ook exploring how we can move from a liberalism that not only protects and
  pre&shy\;serves but also builds\, Klein and Thompson trace the political\
 , economic\, and cultural barriers to progress and propose a path toward a
  politics of abundance. At a time when movements of scarcity are gaining p
 ower in country after country\, this is an answer that meets the challenge
 s of the moment while grappling honestly with the fury so many rightfully 
 feel.</p>\nhttps://dclibrary.libnet.info/event/17233612
