The Sunday Times Bestseller We live in a time of unprecedented upheaval with 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. Rutger Bregman a bestselling Dutch historian explains that it needn't be this way. Bregman shows that we can construct a society with visionary ideas that are in fact wholly implementable. Every milestone of civilization - 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 15-hour work week can become reality in our lifetime. This guide to a revolutionary yet achievable utopia is supported by multiple studies lively anecdotes and numerous success stories. 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.
