Abundance Forsakes Market Freedom

The 'Abundance' movement prioritizes producing more goods and public services by cutting regulatory barriers and expanding government-backed supply, but it often declines to defend the market, civil society, or constitutional limits on state power. That pragmatic focus risks substituting state‑led supply fixes (including large contracting and even nationalization) for the market incentives and legal constraints that sustain long‑run abundance. — Framing supply‑first progressivism as deliberately unconcerned with limits reframes debates over permitting, infrastructure, and corporate power as constitutional and institutional fights, not merely technical policy tweaks.
