Definition:
Artificial abundance denial is the refusal to acknowledge or utilise existing capacity for broad access due to economic or ideological constraints.
Usage Context:
Appears in housing policy, healthcare access, digital distribution, and public services.
Critical Note:
When abundance is denied by design, suffering is reframed as unavoidable. This protects systems that rely on scarcity to maintain power.
