From a universal basic income to a 15-hour workweek, from a world without borders to a world without poverty – it’s time to return to utopian thinking. Rutger Bregman takes us on a journey through history, beyond the traditional left-right divides, as he introduces ideas whose time has come. Utopia for Realists is one of those rare books that takes you by surprise and challenges what you think you know.

Quick, Interesting Read

Utopia for Realists: How We Can Build the Ideal World (2017) No rating

This was a pretty easy, interesting read with a lot of details from studies and historical records demonstrating that the ideas the author proposes aren't as "out there" as some claim.

Review of 'Utopia for Realists: How We Can Build the Ideal World' on 'Goodreads'

Une réflexion éminemment intéressante sur des questions qu'il est grand temps de se poser (semaine de 15h, revenu de base universel, ouverture des frontières), posées de façon méthodique et appuyées par de sérieuses études. Un ensemble de pensées par quelqu'un qui ose rêver d'utopies et d'un monde meilleur, à une époque qui a cruellement besoin d'un avenir vers lequel regarder.

"Ideas, however outrageous, have changed the world, and they will again."
