Through interviews with billionaires and minimum wage workers and ongoing civic dialogues with people from across the economic spectrum, Abundance initiates a conversation in which people can gather and begin to communicate their personal and collective experiences as players on the economic field. This series of interviews and dialogues forms the spine of Abundance, with the possibility to move us toward a new paradigm by paying attention to the emotional and practical influences, information, assumptions and reasoning which determine the choices of billionaires and undocumented workers alike.

Each person involved in these conversations, including interviewees, workshop participants, website visitors and audiences, will be asked to consider questions such as: What is enough for you? For your children? Have you ever had enough? How would your life be different if you knew, from this moment on, that you would always have enough?
