The Ezra Klein Show
Abundance and the Left

So I think the real challenge actually is for a political leader to come in and really pitch the whole thing. Operation Warp Speed happened during a crisis, but it wasn't big enough. It was like one small mission. We have done a lot of little small missions. We just need Operation Warp Speed for everything.

And it's through that mission that I think you figure out what the new rules and institutions should be. It wasn't like... We threw out all the rules during World War II. There was tons of paperwork, you know, and the companies complained constantly about all the paperwork they had to do.

But we had the War Production Board and, you know, Don Nelson would be going around trying to figure out what paperwork is actually creating a bottleneck and what paperwork is necessary, right? And that's something we need to be able to do at the agency level.

I'll say Destructive Creation by Mark Wilson is probably the most detailed book I read about the actual mobilization during World War II. I've read the book. When you read what they did, it is shocking. It's amazing. It's really amazing.

Second book I'd say is Bad Samaritans by Ha-Joon Chang, which tells a story of how a bunch of developed countries managed to go into mission mode and develop their countries. And the third I'd say is probably The Defining Moment by Jonathan Alter. It's about FDR's first hundred days and really paints a picture of his style of leadership and how he was able to do so much without legislation.
