A four-day event to connect people & ideas in the progress movement

Abundance stems from the idea that society’s challenges cannot all be resolved merely by regulation or redistribution, but also require the active expansion of material resources, opportunity, and productivity. Abundance will require realigning incentives and redesigning processes to create a bigger, more inclusive economy. It will also require shifting away from the scarcity mindset that dominates our political discourse, too often upheld by those invested in maintaining the status quo. The Abundance Movement promises more opportunities for vastly more people, eager to prove that we can all rise together.

This event is organized by the Breakthrough Institute and co-chaired by FAI executive director Zach Graves. Learn more:
