“The past year has shown that the concept of ‘abundance’ has legs. A bestselling book by Ezra Klein and Derek Thompson. An expanding shelf of other well-received volumes on similar themes. Policy organizations with abundance in their name. The simultaneous emergence of a more right-coded ‘progress’ movement that identifies many of the same problems and offers similar solutions. … OK, so abundance has legs — but what kind of creature are they attached to?

And what’s the social vision behind this desire for more — we want abundance for what?” (11/13/25)
