<b>THE <i>SUNDAY TIMES </i>BESTSELLER</b><b><br><br>'Listen out for Rutger Bregman. He has a big future shaping the future' <i>Observer</i></b><br><b><i><br></i></b><b>'A more politically radical Malcolm Gladwell' <i>New York Times</i></b><b><i><br><br></i></b><b>'The Dutch wunderkind of new ideas' <i>Guardian</i></b><br><b><br></b>In <i>Utopia for Realists</i>, Rutger Bregman shows that we can construct a society with visionary ideas that are, in fact, wholly implementable. Every milestone of civilisation – from the end of slavery to the beginning of democracy – was once considered a utopian fantasy. New utopian ideas such as universal basic income and a fifteen-hour work week can become reality in our lifetime.<br><br>From a Canadian city that once completely eradicated poverty, to Richard Nixon's near implementation of a basic income for millions of Americans, Bregman takes us on a journey through history, beyond the traditional left-right divides, as he introduces ideas whose time has come.<br><b></b>
