One Billion Americans: The Case for Thinking Bigger by Matthew Yglesias

3.0

Yglesias is a pundit and a policy nerd, and if you've ever enjoyed one of his extended rants on The Weeds, you pretty much know what to expect here.

Do not expect a deep dive on any of your most serious concerns with this plan (he does a pretty elegant job of both acknowledging the reality of climate change, and then handwaving it away).

But when it comes down to it, this is a book about big, interesting, mostly pretty plausible ideas, some of which I was pretty excited about by the end.
