Description
Utopia for Realists by Rutger Bregman Rutger Bregman shows that visionary ideas can become reality in our lifetime. From the end of slavery to the beginning of democracy, every major milestone of civilisation was once considered a utopian fantasy. Bregman takes us on a journey through history, introducing ideas whose time has come. He explores the concept of universal basic income and a 15-hour work week, highlighting examples from history, such as a Canadian city that eradicated poverty and Richard Nixon's near implementation of a basic income for millions of Americans. By moving beyond traditional left-right divides, Bregman presents a compelling vision for a more equitable society. This book offers a fresh perspective on how to create a better world, one that is grounded in practical and implementable ideas.
