Most books that have the word “neoliberalism” in the title are not worth reading. This one is.

Three book recommendations from Richard Powers, author of "The Overstory" and "Bewilderment". (Our full conversation is here: https://www.nytimes.com/2021/09/28/opinion/ezra-klein-podcast-richard-powers.html)

Piketty thinks that we can have much more radical policies than most economists or politicians buy into ... He’s really putting forward solutions proportionate to the size of the inequality problem. ... it’s bracing stuff to read.

Ezra Klein

An incredibly timely book…The world got a hell of a lot lonelier right after he published that. At any rate, he’s got an extraordinarily hard job here. But so do we all, actually.

Ezra Klein

The best explanation of the far right’s rise that I’ve read.

Bit of an odd column for me, but built around two books that were electric to read in this moment, and I strongly recommend: Matthew Rose's "A World After Liberalism" and @yermolenko_v's "Ukraine in Histories and Stories." https://t.co/15sWcPaU1h

Kim Stanley Robinson's "The Ministry for the Future" is the most important book I read this year. It's near-future fiction about the world climate change is creating, and how it will change us, and we will change it.

Allen’s vision is something called power-sharing liberalism. To her, one mistake liberalism has made has been that it is willing, again and again, to deprioritize political equality in favor of material redistribution.

Ezra Klein

I really loved it. I really recommend people listening pick it up. There’s so much beyond what you heard here. Thank you very much.

Ezra Klein

It’s a book I hope future governments and current governments will absorb…One thing she really does is tell clearly the stories and tell clearly the lessons she has seen and learned about why things go wrong even when the people involved are trying to make them go right.
