Our ability to learn, unlearn and relearn is absolutely essential if we are to share common ground and build well-ran communities in an ever-increasingly polarized world. That pertains especially to the political ideas we hold to be true. In Abundance, Klein and Thomspon, instead of pointing fingers at a party that mostly opposes their stance on issues, they look at the follies and shortcomings of American liberalism, and how liberal policies have impeded progress. They argue that it is often the stringent red tape and policies of democratic cities that stifle issues like affordable housing and developing infrastructure. This was a very-well argued and thoughtful take sure to spark a dialogue. -Victoria
