About this listen
We live in a time of unprecedented upheaval, when technology and so-called progress have made us richer but more uncertain than ever before. We have 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. So, too, does the time seem to be coming to an end when we looked to economists to help us define the qualities necessary to create a successful society.
We need a new movement. One defined by a young historian who can tell us the truth about how we got here. They'd be a political outsider, the voice of their generation, one who doesn't harness rage or agitate grievances but who provides us with the answers for which we've been looking. That person is Rutger Bregman and his vision is Utopia for Realists.

Excellent book. Universal Basic Income. Yes 😊
Rutger Bergman wants billionaires to pay their taxes, just like poor people. And to save capitalism by giving value to life. Watch what you say, they will be calling you a radical...

Brilliant bubble-burster to revolutionse economics
Bregman's ideas are fresh, he busts myths and forces you to think beyond what is currently "known" in terms of economics, society and politics. All presented in easy to understand language, humorously written and underpinned by staggering and fascinating research. And Peter Noble's narration is excellent; engaged and very pleasant. If you read (listen to) only one book this year, read this!

Intelligent motivation for dreamers
I got this book thinking it would teach me about the advantages of a UBI.
What I got was insight into a completely different way of thinking about society.
Surprisingly this book is intelligent motivation for any dreamer who has any idea about how the world should be improved.

Wow. Challenging and interesting.
I’m a business and owner and capitalist. The thoughts contained within are not my default but there is certainly a whole lot of sense in them.

Great listen, thought provoking
Well considered & mapped out thoughts. Albeit the examples used aren’t always relevant & leaves the narrative feeling ‘over sold’

Thankyou
If every human being had access to these ideas we would be living in a different universe.....one that reverences both the lofty spiritual essence of our humanity as well as the wisdom filled majesty of our earthly home. Deepest gratitude to the author and those beings thar inspired his thorough, penetrating and visionart work.
