The economics of abundance, along with the sociology of abundance, the law of abundance, and so forth, should be re-framed, linked, and situated in a common context for empirical rather than conceptual research. Abundance may seem to be a new, big thing, between anxiety over information overload, Big Data, and related technological disruptions. But scholars know that abundance is an ancient phenomenon, which only seemed to disappear as twentieth century social science focused on scarcity instead. Restoring the study of abundance, and figuring out how to solve the problems that abundance might create, means shedding disciplinary blinders and going back to basics. How does abundance, in various forms, create or alleviate social problems? We explain and illustrate how the Governing Knowledge Commons (GKC) framework provides a useful research tool to generate and test hypotheses about abundance in various economic, social, cultural, and legal settings.
丰饶经济学，连同丰饶社会学、丰饶法则等等，应该被重新构建、联系起来，并置于一个共同的背景中，用于实证研究而非概念研究。在对信息过载、大数据及相关技术干扰的焦虑之下，丰饶似乎是一个新的重大事物。但学者们知道，丰饶是一个古老的现象，只是在二十世纪社会科学专注于稀缺时，它似乎消失了。恢复对丰饶的研究，并弄清楚如何解决丰饶可能带来的问题，意味着摆脱学科的局限，回归基础。各种形式的丰饶是如何产生或缓解社会问题的？我们解释并说明治理知识公地（GKC）框架如何提供一个有用的研究工具，以生成和检验关于各种经济、社会、文化和法律背景下丰饶的假设。
