Download Utopia for Realists: How We Can Build the Ideal World AudioBook Free
General basic income. A 15-hour workweek. Open borders. Will it really appear too good to be true? One of Europe's leading young thinkers shows how we can build a great world today. After working all day at jobs we often dislike, we buy things we don't need. Rutger Bregman, a Dutch historian, reminds us it needn't be this way - and occasionally it isn't. Rutger Bregman's TED Talk about universal basic income looked like impossibly radical when he shipped it in 2014. 25 % of your million views later, the subject of that video is being significantly considered by leading economists and government leaders all over the world. It's one among the countless utopian ideas that Bregman demonstrates can be done today. Utopia for Realists is one particular rare books that takes you by wonder and challenges what you think can happen. From a Canadian city that once completely eradicated poverty to Richard Nixon's near implementation of a simple income for millions of Americans, Bregman takes us on a journey through record and beyond the original left-right divides as he champions ideas whose time has come. Every intensifying milestone of civilization - from the finish of slavery to the start of democracy - was once considered a utopian fantasy. Bregman's e book, both challenging and bracing, shows that new utopian ideas, like the reduction of poverty and the creation of the 15-hour workweek, can become reality inside our life time. Being unrealistic and unreasonable can, in fact, make the impossible unavoidable, and it is the only path to build the ideal world.
