The most important question about abundance isn’t who built it. It’s who actually built it

Frida Ghitis : The left may adopt the branding of abundance, but the right actually brought the goods.

Abundance is not a progressive discovery, it's a conservative achievement, Ghitis writes.

Ghitis says progressive abundance is a retrofit, conservative machinery dressed up in progressive aesthetics.

He says conservative deregulation, permitting reform, market mechanisms that actually create supply create abundance.

Many of today ’s abundance evangelists championed degrowth policies a decade ago .

Conservatives face a strategic risk: if the right doesn't aggressively reclaim and expand the abundance narrative, progressives will successfully retrofit conservative achievements with their own branding.

Conservative governors understood the value of abundance long before it became fashionable, and their states are reaping the benefits.
