Ezra Klein
一位深受欢迎的美国记者、政治分析师和《纽约时报》专栏作家，通过其《The Ezra Klein Show》podcast 探讨各种社会和政治问题。
Topics
Brian Lehrer: 本期节目讨论了当代自由主义的失败以及两位作者提出的丰饶政治理念。他们认为，特朗普赢得大选并非因为他对美国的愿景，而是因为自由主义未能解决住房短缺、气候变化等问题，导致民众对民主党失去信任。 Derek Thompson: 特朗普利用现存的短缺来要求新的牺牲，而民主党在许多城市也存在住房短缺等问题，这体现了自由主义自身的失败。他认为，自由主义过于关注程序，而对结果关注不足，导致环境法规阻碍了对环境有益的建设。 Ezra Klein: 选民不信任民主党在生活成本方面，许多蓝州的自由主义者长期以来允许可负担性危机加剧，他们使得创造人们所需物品的供应变得非常困难。他认为，“一切百吉饼自由主义”指的是自由主义者将许多善意的标准、项目和目标堆积到一项倡议中，导致无法实现目标。他还指出，美国政府容易受到诉讼的限制，这阻碍了其快速行动的能力，而许多欧洲国家则不然。 Virginia: 纽约市的住房问题不仅在于缺乏供应，还在于贪婪的房东和投资者利用各种手段减少可负担住房。 Nandur: 纽约市建造的所谓“可负担住房”实际上是豪华住房，这未能解决真正的住房问题。
