Worth the read for sure! Being shipped to Mexico: “Utopia for Realists: How We Can Build the Ideal World”. The author, Rutger Bregman is a journalist at The Correspondent, and one of Europe's most prominent young thinkers. He has published four books on history, philosophy, and economics.
His History of Progress was awarded the Belgian Liberales prize for best nonfiction book of 2013, and Bregman has twice been nominated for the European Press Prize. Here is why you will want to read this book: You admit that things look pretty dark now and our future looks pretty bleak? Well what you need, my friends, is a dose of hope to wipe away that despair. Utopian thought provides that hope and shines a light upon some possible future pathways.
At any rate when things fall completely apart we better be ready with some bright ideas about how to make the world whole again.
This book is filled with some challenging ideas that are presented with such clarity you are likely to go out and win some brew pub arguments with your new found audacity. It also felt good to read. It was also a fast and easy read - despite how challenging some of the concepts were.
