Reform’s tales of wasteland Britain won’t work. There’s a far larger market for hope | Gaby Hinsliff

The article discusses the contrasting narratives between the "reform's tales of wasteland Britain" and the more optimistic and hopeful vision for the future presented in the book "Abundance" by Ezra Klein and Derek Thompson. The author highlights the joy and excitement witnessed during the England Lionesses' victory and their homecoming parade as an example of the public's longing for national events that make them feel cheerful and optimistic. The article suggests that this sentiment aligns with the ideas in "Abundance," which encourages progressives to present a vision of abundance and good times, in contrast to the "crabby, mean-spirited 'scarcity mindset'" often associated with the right-wing political rhetoric. The article argues that this more positive and growth-oriented approach, as outlined in "Abundance," could provide a way forward for the left and offer a larger market for hope and optimism, rather than the "tales of wasteland Britain" that the author deems unlikely to resonate with the public.
