Intro

Abundance: The Journal of Post-Scarcity Studies


My friends, it is time to establish Abundance as a field of study.
Our task is dauntingly difficult, as most of humanity has slumbered in a scarcity stupor for so long they cannot be easily awakened. The goal is ambitious: From 2009-2010 to lay out the central concepts and theoretical foundations of Abundance Studies.
Establishing a journal is a way to focus our intellectual efforts, build a "brand" and create a home for this new field.

This part of AdCiv.org is a place to gather information for building the Abundance journal, and hold evolving articles for it.

Currently early stages of planning are being discussed here: post-scarcity-agalmics-journal-launch (and some threads here: [1])
