I tried initially to popularize the late Robert Levin's term Agalmics: <a href="http://www.openverse.com/~dtinker/agalmics.html">http://www.openverse.com/~dtinker/agalmics.html</a><br><br>Have to think more about this...the idea of Extropy seems relevant also. We also have to think in terms of decision theory....choice under abundance may not make sense because you can consume or enjoy all the options. Also, even when things are abundant if you have limited or scare attention you'd still be operating under conventional decision theory or utility optimizing parameters. Thus we need to distringuis Marco Economics/Macro Abundance in the Political Economy sense from micro-individual-decision/behavior. <br>
<br>I think Economics of Abundance, or Abundance Studies. Post Scarcity Economics, Resource Based Economic. Ecological Economics (also see the Mars trilogy Red Mars, Blue Mars, Green Mars) <br><br><div class="gmail_quote">

</div></div>I think <a href="http://Wikipedia.org/wiki/Autarchism" target="_blank">http://Wikipedia.org/wiki/Autarchism</a> might be one part of this answer,<br>
but would avoid claiming it is all we need because it does not mention the<br>
critical issue of "beneficial connectivity" that our societies now lack.<br>
