The podcast itself is quite interesting if you can handle moments of extreme liberalism, both hosts admit that china is living in the future and that America has failed on a structural level

i think what's most interesting is that these guys look at china, they recognize that amerikkka is fundamentally failing on structural levels, that they're in the future and we're in the past, and yet for some reason insist that they've managed to devise this mystical, entirely theoretical way to catch back up and get to where china is THAT IS INEXPLICABLY NOT JUST COPYING CHINA????? it boggles the mind, the hubris, the stupidity. they literally insist on reinventing a wheel for the sake of ideological purity and insist that this is the only way to be free.

What is their solution? I'm not watching an hour long Ezra Klein video lol.

EDIT: Saw someone mention abundance liberalism in a comment below so I'm guessing it's that.
