This essay is the first in an ongoing series entitled "The Abundance Agenda". At a time of slow economic growth and social and political dysfunction, it’s clear that the way to a better and more prosperous future for the United States can be found in a wide range of pro-abundance policies touching on many areas, from energy to philanthropy. In this Discourse essay and the essays in the series that follow, we’ll make the case that abundance is not just about economic growth, as important as that is. An “abundance agenda” is also necessary if we are to effectively tackle the great social, environmental and even political challenges our country faces and is essential if we are to successfully promote human flourishing.
