BUT THEY HAVE NO VISION FOR HOW TO OVERCOME THOSE OBSTACLES OTHER THAN DEREGULATION

Replying to @besttrousers and @DavidAstinWalsh
Quick example - here's a section about building rail.
The argument is not "we need to deregulate railroads"; it's "we need to build state capacity by building in-house expertise instead of hiring consultants."
Ezra’s solution: Let’s give more money to private real estate and make it harder to relegate their building practices on top rolling back the regulations we already have! The rich and powerful just need a little more money and they’ll cleanse the sins of capitalism for humanity!

Hello, Based Department? I’d like to file a claim
Ezra is ever on the left. Far easier to say "hey, the profit incentive is often not enough to encourage R&D because expected profits are too low. The govt should do some spending on high risk R&D".
But nope, we gotta talk about Marx...still
Putting aside the issue of Marx’s claims being positive v normative, I’m sorta confused by this meme because the implications of the two views are very different so it doesn’t seem all together surprising to me that the reactions to them might differ?
You mean this whole time Ezra quotes marx in the book leftists hate but never read
These are antithetical positions in the sense Marx did not believe in the value-add of technology: he saw technological development as an outcome of capital accumulation, while Schumpeter argued for the effect of individual entrepreneurs
Intelligence is important, but it is overrated as the only road to excellence.
Assuming "Showing Up" is luck & presence, I would add "Hard Work", and "Good Mentorship" to the ingredients in the right-side figure.

Marx should have seen some of the business models which have been funded
No lefty has even read the synopsis od the book. Like, they claim it advocates for austerity of all things
My quibble is that Marx was flat out wrong regardless of the quote. Doesn't mean Abundance doesn't have some good policy outcomes.
Ezra Klein also called the Warrenite wing, not even the Left-most group, "#antitrust obsessed."
Plenty of objectionable statements in the Abundance roll out.

That’s because it’s far into the book and you said I should read it while I’m at the gate

Ah yes Marx too would love shitting on anti-monopolists and would shake his head at the thought of OSHA and its icky rules.
Nothing in abundance compels the power of the masses. It does it's best to avoid villain narratives, and disperses blame in meek ways. It's completely devoid of an understanding of power. This shit would be beaten and executed in an alleyway by right-wing populism.
's analysis is spot on - it helps me see the big picture
