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.

Bregman deserves credit for taking so many important policy decisions (taxation, open borders, and universal basic income) and making them seem both commonsense and accessible. In this way, he is far more successful that his peer, the economist, Thomas Piketty, because his ideas can reach a far wider audience. A good read for optimist, forward thinking young people.

Interesting ideas -- especially appreciated the arguments in favor of Universal Basic Income -- but the tone was a bit arrogant, which I found off-putting.
