The aggregator Book Marks classified the critical reception of Abundance as mixed, tallying two rave reviews, one positive review, three mixed reviews, and one negative review.

Among the rave reviews, Henry Grabar of Slate praised the book for being "unabashed in synthesizing good ideas". He wrote that Klein and Thompson present an essential vision of "a 'liberalism that builds'," which could serve as a proactive solution to stagnation of liberal governance, particularly in blue states. However, Grabar also noted that the authors provide remarkably little criticism of the Trump Administration. In another positive review, Benjamin Wallace-Wells of The New Yorker described Abundance as a "fair-minded book" that "recognizes some of the trade-offs that come with redesigning government for dynamism".

Writing for the The New York Times, Samuel Moyn gave a mixed review. He questioned the potential consequences of an abundance-driven agenda, wondering whether it could reinforce a culture of consumption as a primary goal. He as critiqued the authors' viewpoint as occasionally sounding "like the brief of a few elite finance and tech bros in two or three coastal cities". Eric Levitz of Vox also provided a mixed review. He noted a disconnect between the authors' proposals and the political climate at the time of the book's publication. Levitz argued that, given pressing issues such as political turmoil and insurrection, the authors' focus on specific regulatory concerns, like suburban housing codes, seemed comparatively minor. He further criticized their avoidance of clearly addressing the genuine trade-offs between their policy proposals and traditional progressive ideology, particularly in identifying specific environmental regulations that should be modified.

Similarly, a reviewer for The Guardian pointed out that the book avoids tackling the more challenging issues directly by failing to specify which procedural barriers should be addressed. Nonetheless, the reviewer praised the book for its "clarity, accessibility, and rigour."

The Wall Street Journal's negative review, authored by Barton Swaim, criticized the authors for appearing dismissive of American conservatism. Swaim acknowledged the articulateness of Klein and Thompson's ideas but argued that their concepts seemed disconnected from the realities of everyday life and ordinary people.

The book aggregator Book Marks aggregates classified the reviews overall as mixed, with 2 "Rave", 1 "positive", 3 "mixed", and 1 "Pan". In the rave review, in Slate, Henry Grabar praised the book for being "unabashed in synthesizing good ideas", arguing that Klein and Thompson offer a much needed "vision of a 'liberalism that builds', a can-do antidote to blue-state malaise", while also remarking that the book contains remarkably little criticism of the current Republican-led administration. In the a positive review In The New Yorker, Benjamin Wallace-Wells called Abundance a "fair-minded book" that "recognizes some of the trade-offs that come with redesigning government for dynamism".

A mixed review from the New York Times, Samuel Moyn wondered about some questions unanswered like what if people stop innovating because they have and he ponders on if the "abundance" agenda leaves us with consumption as an end to itself. Moyn also wrote that the book occasionally reads like the brief of a few elite finance and tech bros in two or three coastal cities".

Eric Levitz of Vox pointed out disconnect between the political environment at the time of publication and what they authors were aruging: trump is insurrectionist causing all kinds of turmoil so least of problems is worryign about minimum lot sizes in suburban housing codes. He also says that that "elide the genuine tradeoffs between their vision and progressive ideology". That is, they identify problems like too much red tape with environmental regulation but dont' say what laws exactly to change. In the Guardian, a reviewer similarly felt that the book "ducks the most difficult issue" by not saying what procedural impediments should be replaced with. he did though give praise to "clarity, accessibility and rigour" of the writing.

A negative review from the Wall Street Journal say that the authors "appear to have only contempt for American conservatism". he also says that the authors ideas are ariculate but "have minimal contact with the world of people and things".

Premise

Conception

McMutry wrote the novel after finishing college at Northwestern State, writing at least 5-pages each morning. Shortly thereafter, the novel was sold to the movies for $10,000 in proceeds. In reflecting on the memoir, he wrote: "The publication so long awaited for, was anti-climatic".

Analysis

In the book Southern Writers at Century's end, Folks and Perkins write that Horseman, Pass by “tells a story characteristic of much contemporary Western fiction: a young man's initiation into manhood.” Hud represents the modern cowboy who is fenced out of his old range, whose mythological roots are dying, and who responds with range and violence."

However, Horseman, Pass By eschews the typical formula of the Western novel up until that time, opting for a more realistic portrait of the modern cowboy after the settling of the Old West. Bloodworth writes that "the landscape of the Old West exists primarily in the dreams and fantasies of the main characters".

Characters

Homer Bannon- old cowman who represented the old, ranching way of life. He has no interest in the oil fields springing up in the surrounding property.

Hud - the stepson of Homer Bannon, who represents modern life and wants to turn the ranch into oil rig place
