The New Liberal Podcast

What is the Abundance Agenda and how do we get there? Atlantic writer and author Derek Thompson and former Congressional candidate Suraj Patel join the show to discuss how to build an abundant society. Are the problems we're facing problems of scarcity? If the things we need like medical care, housing, and child care are getting scarcer and more expensive, why is the supply so low? How can we increase the supply of those things? And most importantly - how can we build a winning political coalition for the ideas that will increase supply and build abundance?

This week's episode is a joint episode with Andrew Heaton's podcast, The Political Orphanage.

Richard Reeves, senior fellow at the Brookings Institution and author of the new book Of Boys and Men, joins the podcast to discuss what's gone wrong with boys and men in today's society. Why are boys struggling in school so badly? Why are labor market gender wage gaps closing, but educational gaps are widening? What can we do to make sure boys don't fall even further behind? And how can we address this issue without falling into right wing fantasies of biological determinism and a return to a more sexist time?

The world is so much richer than it was 150 years ago that past generations might look at society today and declare it a utopia. But how did we get here, and are we really living in utopia? Economist Brad DeLong joins the podcast to discuss his new book, Slouching Towards Utopia. We discuss the key factors that allowed economic growth to explode around 1870, why Brad builds a grand narrative around the 'long 20th century', and why economic growth is the most important lens for understanding human history in the last 150 years.
