Utopia for Realists: And How We Can Get There by Rutger Bregman

I really enjoyed the content of the book. I would have liked at the end a summarization of a utopia that implemented all the concepts. More concrete actions an individual can take.

I also feel like a lot of time was spent on UBI.

Informative, inspiring. Laser-focussed on defending the 15hr work week, a Global Inconditional Income and free circulation of persons.

O carte interesanta, ce trateaza cateva idei utopice, si le analizeaza din mai multe perspective. Mi-a placut foarte mult faptul ca fiecare idee, chiar daca pare ireala in prima faza sau utopica, are radacini in realitate si poate, a si fost implementata in trecut sub o forma sau alta. Astfel te ajuta sa intelegi mult mai bine cauzele unor probleme si sa inveti din greselile trecutului.
In plus cartea are referinte catre foarte multe articole, studii, carti deci puteti sa continuati investigatia pe subiectul preferat.

Ca un bonus, o sa aveti multe subiecte de discutat cu persoanele din jurul vostru, asta daca va placeti sa argumentati pe idei nepopulare.

Enjoyed this light, quick read. It's far from exhaustive or all-convincing, given Bregman bounces around between a number of ideas in a relatively short amount of time, but it functions as a good conversation starter for some potentially impactful what-ifs that are worthy of consideration for anyone interested in what we can do to improve society/life for the masses.
