The authors document how four forces--exponential technologies, the DIY innovator, the Technophilanthropist, and the Rising Billion--are conspiring to solve our biggest problems. "Abundance" establishes hard targets for change and lays out a strategic roadmap for governments, industry and entrepreneurs, giving us plenty of reason for optimism.

What constitutes the good life and authentic Christian leadership in a high-speed technological society geared to perpetual economic growth? In a world of rapid change and heightened risks, how do we move beyond the tyranny of emergency and polarization toward a politics of engagement and time oriented to the long-term common good? Taking up key themes in the social teaching of Popes Benedict XVI and Francis, Sustainable Abundance for All argues that life in a risky, runaway world requires new forms of Christian praxis that are both forward-looking and rooted in tradition. Among the issues addressed are pathways toward sustainable development in the Anthropocene, automation and the transition to post-jobs society, the proactionary-precautionary debate over new technologies, and the dangers of becoming "people of the device." Sustainable Abundance for All lays the groundwork for new kinds of Christian social action and prophetic witness in the twenty-first century.

That you must "earn" a living, as if living was not an intrinsic right and a great, unbuyable gift.And so the outlook you must have about money is to bless it and say, as if you were speaking to a much-beleaguered friend, "I know that none of this is your fault, my friend. I thank you, and I bless you with Light."The system is indeed built upon the expectation of greed, of unnecessary acquisition, of extreme unevenness in income and social status. It does indeed hold some dark aspects-look at the symbolism of many a paper currency, and you will see there symbols of oppression and the dark arts, proudly displayed.And yet, you are able to overcome these shadowy intentions, just as the prisoner or the slave is able to sing in the cold and the dark.Begin by blessing whatever money you have, whether in an account, or in your pocket. Put your hand on it and say, "I now draw you up to a new level of service to the Light. Behold, all things are new again!" In so doing, you are raising the admittedly low density of Earth money energy to something far higher. You are raising it to its own higher purpose of doing good upon the Earth. Of creating beautiful gardens, of healing and inspiring humanity, of investing in fifth dimensional technology, and in the purification and healing of your water, air, and crops.Begin now to treat two things very differently: all the money that you have or see, and your own ability to create abundance . . . .

This classic collection of essays by David Riesman discusses the implications of affluence in America. Riesman maintains that the question that should be raised by wealth has shifted over time from how to obtain wealth to how to make use of it. Another key theme concerns issues relevant to higher education, such as academic freedom. Abundance for What? examines the notion that America is not as open a society as it may appear to be; it then shows how social science may be used to explain why this is so. And now in a brilliant, lengthy reevaluation Riesman both clarifies and revises that earlier assessment with unusual luster and candor., The volume begins with a group of essays that describe the impact of the Cold War. After warning against depending on a war economy, Riesman shifts the focus of discussion to a central characteristic of the Cold War epoch: the uses and abuses of abundance in expanding leisure time. Several essays deal with suburbs as the locale of abundance, while others study the place of the automobile in American life. Riesman describes the impact of American abundance on other nations. Among the many other subjects discussed in Abundance for What? are the education of women, generational shifts in attitudes, and a study of the national character., In his major new 100-page introduction, Riesman also relates the experiences that originally inspired him to write these essays. He then talks about the social and historical changes that have occurred since their publication. His synthesis of old Ideas with contemporary ones makes this a compelling volume. Abundance for What? continues to hold a significant place in the social and cultural critiques of contemporary America and will be of interest to historians, psychologists, educators, and urban policymakers alike.
