The Niskanen Center has published a paper by political scientist Steve Teles that seeks to map the emergent “Abundance” movement, an intellectual current calling for aggressive supply-side reforms to expand housing, energy and infrastructure capacity. Teles identifies six distinct camps that cut across traditional partisan lines, arguing that a shared focus on increasing productive capacity could reduce zero-sum political conflict. The paper contends that governments should remove regulatory barriers that constrain building but also establish safeguards to balance growth against environmental and social costs. It frames the agenda as a middle path between laissez-faire deregulation and state-led industrial policy, positioning abundance as a potential new axis of U.S. politics. Early reaction has been mixed. Policy analysts welcoming the study say it clarifies the coalition behind pro-growth efforts such as zoning reform and clean-energy permitting. Skeptics question whether abundance will rise to the level of a durable political realignment and caution that parts of the environmental left remain hostile to expanded energy production, even from renewable sources. The debate highlights growing interest in supply-side solutions ahead of next year’s legislative sessions in several states.
