Abundance
The threat to liberal democracy isn't just autocrats - it's a lack of effective action by so-called progressives.
We have the means to build an equitable world without hunger, fuelled by clean energy. Instead, we have a politics driven by scarcity, lives defined by unaffordability and public institutions that no longer deliver on big ideas. It's time for change.
Bestselling authors Ezra Klein and Derek Thompson have spent decades analysing the political, economic and cultural forces that have led us here. In this once-in-a-generation intervention, they unpick the barriers to progress and show how we can, and must, shift the political agenda to one that not only protects and preserves, but also builds. From healthcare to housing, infrastructure to innovation, they lay out a path to a future defined not by fear, but by abundance.

Beyond Belief
A celebration and exploration of gossip, reclaiming it as a powerful tool for building relationships, sharing vital information and enabling women's voices to be heard.

All-too-often dismissed as the past-time of silly schoolgirls and bored housewives, there's more to gossip than meets the eye.
In today's world of misinformation, where the voices and stories of women are being silenced, gossip has the power to shatter reputations and destroy credibility. Yet it can also be a vital political tool; a communication style that strengthens relationships and can even act a life-saving measure.Tracing gossip's roots from old wives' tales and the witch trials to reality TV, whisper networks and defamation lawsuits, Beyond Belief asks, have we lost the ability to listen; to hear, and to believe women who speak up and speak out?
A joyous reclamation of women's words, this book is for anyone who's ever uttered the words, 'You won't believe this...'
