About this listen

Is "Abundance" the answer to our housing, energy, and pharma crises—or just neoliberalism in a new outfit?


In this in-depth conversation, Capital Forum’s Teddy Downey sits down with Sandeep Vaheesan of the Open Markets Institute to dissect "Abundance", the much-hyped book by Ezra Klein and Derek Thompson. Sandeep—legal director, historian, and author of Democracy and Power—offers a sweeping critique of the book’s policy proposals and ideological foundations.


We talk about:

📉 Why zoning reform won’t solve the housing crisis

⚡ The overlooked history of public investment in energy

💊 What Abundance misses about Big Pharma and price manipulation

💥 How the book rebrands 1990s-era neoliberalism for 2025
