  - Think Twice: About…
    
    Part of the Think Twice Author Series - It’s a tale as old as time: we see the environment in which we grow up, along with all the issues plaguing it, and aspire to leave the world better than we’ve found it. If not, we hope the next generation can finish that work. Reporter and podcaster Derek Thompson says what’s been clear throughout their reporting is that we’ve become better at recognizing problems that should be addressed. However, our ability to solve them has not improved. What does it take to make sure meaningful progress is achieved? In this conversation with Open to Debate guest moderator and host of the “Smart Girl Dumb Questions” podcast, Nayeema Raza, Thompson will discuss his new book “Abundance,” the value of rethinking previous conclusions of yesterday’s issues to address today’s problems, and what both Democrats and Republicans should learn to remove our scarcities and ensure we have a more abundant society.
