Host Robin Young speaks with Atlantic writer Derek Thompson about his new book “Abundance,” written with New York Times commentator Ezra Klein.

In the book, the two argue that in order to ensure a better future, America needs to build and invent more in order to combat problems such as affordable housing, climate change, and food and medicine inaccessibility.
