ABUNDANCEThe Story of theGreatest Country

From the Declaration of Independence to the digital age.
The story of the United States told as narrative rather than timeline, from the founding of a free republic to the frontiers of space and digital innovation. Written for readers who want the history and the spirit behind it.
Abundance covers the United States from the founding of a free republic to the innovations still being built in this century. It is written as narrative history rather than a list of dates: the founding against long odds, the civil war and the social transformation that followed, the rise of industry and invention, the crises from the Great Depression to 9/11 to the COVID-19 pandemic, and the long push toward justice through civil rights, women’s empowerment and environmental action.
The through-line is people. The book treats American history as a record of ordinary people achieving extraordinary things in the pursuit of liberty and progress, and it returns to that idea in every era it covers.
It suits a lifelong student of history who wants the story rather than the syllabus, and a reader who simply wants an inspiring portrait of what the country set out to be.
