Utopia for Realists

The crisis of our times is not that we don't have it good, or even that we might be worse off in the near future, it's that we don't have the imagination to come up with anything better. A huge bestseller in the original Dutch, garnering plaudits from a swathe of eminent thinkers, Utopia for Realists overturns existing notions about how to run society with radical yet wholly practical ideas for a happier, healthier, wealthier world. From Universal Basic Income to a 15-hour working week, evidence is piled up for solutions to the problems of inequality and unhappiness escalating/growing across the globe today. 'If you're bored with hackneyed debates, decades-old right-wing and left-wing clichés, you may enjoy the bold thinking, fresh ideas, lively prose, and evidence-based arguments in Utopia for Realists' - Steven Pinker, author of The Blank Slate
