Utopia for Realists

In Utopia for Realists, Rutger Bregman shows that we can construct a society with visionary ideas that are, in fact, wholly implementable. Every milestone of civilisation – from the end of slavery to the beginning of democracy – was once considered a utopian fantasy. New utopian ideas such as universal basic income and a fifteen-hour work week can become reality in our lifetime.

From a Canadian city that once completely eradicated poverty, to Richard Nixon's near implementation of a basic income for millions of Americans, Bregman takes us on a journey through history, beyond the traditional left-right divides, as he introduces ideas whose time has come.

In Utopia for Realists, Rutger Bregman arata ca putem construi o societate cu idei vizionare care sunt, de fapt, complet implementabile. Fiecare reper al civilizatiei - de la sfarsitul sclaviei pana la inceputul democratiei - a fost candva considerat o fantezie utopica.
