Utopia for Realists: How We Can Build the Ideal World by Rutger Bregman

challenging hopeful informative inspiring fast-paced

4.5

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
