An essential read for everyone, one that reminds us that progress is not an end goal but a process and a metric by which we gauge how we’re doing and where we need to go. Bregman’s points are accessible and the perfect combination of revolutionary/ideological/possible while also considering how behind we are in thinking about our future and the importance of not settling into the bleakness and immobility that late-stage capitalism breeds. I do have a lotttttt of questions for Bregman after reading this and I wonder if there are some ways in which he could have elaborated further, but all in all, I’m feeling ready to overwhelm some neo-liberals

This is a very interesting and readable book about ideas for radically changing society and the importance of "utopian" thinking. Bregman is a big advocate for Universal Basic Income and his arguments are compelling, as are those for a shorter working week and open borders. An interesting read for anyone curious about new ideas in political and economic thinking.

Bregman weet op eenvoudige wijze uit te leggen waarom we weer moeten gaan dromen over een nieuw luilekkerland. De plek waar we ons nu bevinden heeft namelijk heel veel weg van die plek, maar hoe mogen wij durven dromen en vechten naar een nieuwe utopie. Want deze kapitalische zooi is toch niet zo geweldig als verwacht.

Inspiring ideas presented with such good-heartedness and brilliant examples that were fascinating and shocking and led me to futher research. Written with such hope and lively storytelling and plenty of humour that made it so hard to put down.
