Utopia for Realists

De: Rutger Bregman

Narrado por: Peter Noble

We live in a time of unprecedented upheaval, when technology and so-called progress have made us richer but more uncertain than ever before. We have questions about the future, society, work, happiness, family and money, and yet no political party of the right or left is providing us with answers. So, too, does the time seem to be coming to an end when we looked to economists to help us define the qualities necessary to create a successful society.

We need a new movement. One defined by a young historian who can tell us the truth about how we got here. They'd be a political outsider, the voice of their generation, one who doesn't harness rage or agitate grievances but who provides us with the answers for which we've been looking. That person is Rutger Bregman and his vision is Utopia for Realists.

Amazing

Loved it. Found it incredibly attention grabbing, informative and fact filled. I can totally debate against my classmates now! 😂

Excellent information

Eye opening read. Fact based information. Are the wealthy ever going to pay there fair share

Thought provoking and brilliant!

Putting words on major societal challenges we are facing currenlty. So satisfying about the myths bunking too. Brlliant!

Must-read for change-makers!

UBI, open borders, redistribution of wealth - let's do it, and create a world that's more worthwhile leving in for everybody!

enlightening perspective and mindset

great read for those who seek for reason in Thier lives, offers a great, fresh perspective on where we are now as societies and how we can actually break the trends of marasm and consumerism. recommended for who care about our future

Great book, why not the author though?

This book is fantastic and is full of inspiring ideas and impetus for meaningful change in the world.

Bregman is great at collating these ideas that are quite old and showing how needed they still are.

Knowing Bregman's work a little, I would have liked to have had him read the audio. The reader is great, don't get me wrong. I just feel that there's certain subtle things that having the man who wrote the book voicing it would benefit from. Do download though, it's great!

Historic

Revolutionary, revealing... This should be in top 10 reads for humanity. The ideas are so sane they are crazy and so humanity will reject it.

Inspiring

Inspiring message, well written and read. I never knew that there was so much empirical evidence for the effectiveness of direct cash transfers and basic income. The Richard Nixon episode was especially captivating.

Wow

Its very clear in its ideas. Very hopeful, inspiring, feel good. Thanks for writing it, thanks for dreaming like me. This world is full of utopians like us.

It’s Rutger’s time

I’m on board. I love Bregman
I felt Harrari was the voice of the moment 5years ago, Jordan Peterson 2 years ago and now I think it’s time for Rutger Bregman
We seem to be given these gifts at the moment they are required. Thanks
