Utopia for Realists

This very readable and thought-provoking book puts forward many new and interesting ideas, including the advantages of a universal basic income. The world is changing so fast but the divisions between rich and poor are becoming far more apparent, despite apparent progress in so many areas. Rutger Bregman's thoughts on what our future society could be like should be seriously considered by those in government.

Many issues treated with bold hand. Entertaining.

Must read

Refreshing outlook on possibilities that may lie ahead if we can tweak the way we perceive progress. Go for it - highly recommended.

A real show stopper as far as I'm concerned.Bregman sets out the case for a shorter working week, universal basic pay and other radical ways of viewing and operating the world we live in. If you are looking for a positive radical way of changing the world and not just tinkering around the edges, you must read this. It is well researched, well referenced, very well written, and full of information that may keep you from getting off to sleep. . It also has what has to be the most weird piece of hidden history in that Nixon almost implemented some of this stuff. Incredible!I stopped reading two other books until I had finished this one - I just couldn't put it down, but beware, it is crammed full of great examples that you immediately want to tell someone else about.
