Ezra Klein

That is our final question.

So I'm going to end with a variant of what I always do on the show, which is, what is one book you'd recommend to Californians?

And we'll go in order of the room here.

Mr. Steyer, we'll begin with you.

Mayor Mahan.

And Mr. Viragosa.

Please join me in thanking the candidates here for a wonderful conversation.

If you find yourself bewildered by this moment where there's so much reason for despair and so much reason to hope all at the same time, let me say I hear you.

I'm Ezra Klein from New York Times Opinion, host of The Ezra Klein Show.

And for me, the best way to beat back that bewildered feeling is to talk it out with the people who have ideas and frameworks for making sense of it.

There is going to be plenty to talk about.

You can find The Ezra Klein Show wherever you get your podcasts.
