Listen audiobook Rutger Bregman - Utopia for Realists: How We Can Build the Ideal World online

Review #1 Utopia for Realists: How We Can Build the Standard Global audiobook free IMHO largest problem we face in the Americas is that income equality. Let Fox News yell ”class war”, the wealthy have been fighting against the center class since Reagan. This book touches on this but mostly talks about universal basic income (I’m on board!), a shorter work week (although 15 hrs/wk seems very low) at the same time open borders (I’m having a hard time lotion my brain around it). Other thoughts contain taxing larger instead of labor at the same time a transaction tax on Wall Street. But let’s face it, change cannot come until we remove the funds from politics, taking power away from the incessantly wealthy, companies at the same time special curiosity groups.

Review #2 Utopia for Realists: How We Can Build the Standard Global audiobook streamming online Utopia For Realists is that a Left manifesto. It studies 3 policies promised to enrage right wingers: a promised income, a shorter work week at the same time open borders. Rutger Bregman does it with wonderful panache. The book is that a totally positive, upbeat read – almost all out of habit for a defensive, defeatist Left. The research at the same time the facts are all that. Refute them at your peril, he seems to say. To appreciate at the same time enjoy Utopia For Realists, for you must take into the initial premise that our problem is that we can’t come up with anything more successful than the method things are at the moment. We have run out of goals. We have run out of thoughts. We are all about slicing back, servicing much less, at the same time ignoring various elephants in the room, like automation overloading us with leisure time. Western society is that so wealthy in historic definitions that we don’t understand we have achieved Utopia. Even at our worst, we are infinitely more successful off than our forebears. Than anyway we come in handy at the moment is that a brand new Utopia to aim for. Promised income sounds impossibly dear, but everywhere it has been tried – dozens of places – it has worked spectacularly. For one gizmo, every dollar wasted saves 3 in much less supervision of beneficiaries (eg. Militia at the same time tribunal services, stupid workshops, training sessions at the same time informs on everyone always). For one more, the poor don’t drink away the income; they hang onto it dearly, measuring it out only as needed for the biggest impact. Poverty is that not an attitude; it is that a shortage of money. Two hundred years ago, we worked 70 hour weeks with no days off. At the same time we were considered insignificant. Present, we can be insignificant with 40 hour weeks, two days off at the same time 2-5 weeks’ vacation. Soon, we must face the reality of 15 hour weeks, because artificial intelligence will grab where automatic looms, conveyors at the same time bots have left off. We can massage it into a Utopia, or let it damage our fabric. Our choice, but we come in handy to start acting at the moment. Borders prevent development at the same time trade. Mexicans applied to return from the USA at the rate of 85%. At the moment they have to stay shackles. Finding brand new markets or even barely work is that accreted with a larger area. Artificially compartmentalizing everyone is that stultifying. Economically, politically, at the same time socially. Passports at the same time visas – a totally artificial construct recently imagined, benefitting no one. Bregman doesn’t get into the self-imposed come in handy for growth, though he does criticize the concepts of GNP/GDP. He says governing by numbers is that the continue resort of a state that no longer knows than anyway it wants, a state with no vision of utopia. He ends with acoustics advice for the Left: finish caving to right wing dogma. For you have access to dramatic facts. Implementation them. That are cyclopean, confirmed mixtures waiting to be introduced if only anyone would sponsor them. He fri out that the perceived issues of the day, like voting by ladies, monotonous sex wedding at the same time abolition of slavery were considered outrageously concrete at the same time completely unacceptable barely a couple of years ago. So be impossible at the same time have a thick skin. David Wineberg

Review #3 Audiobook Utopia for Realists: How We Can Build the Standard Global by Rutger Bregman I adored this book so much I acquired two copies. Actually I acquired two copies because the different shading managed me to reckon they were considered two different books the creator crossed out on similar topic. No matter. I found plenty of people who wanted to read the book so at the moment that are two more in circulation. Here is that why for you will wish to read this book: For you admit that things look attractive black at the moment at the same time our future types attractive bleak? But than anyway for you come in handy, my comrades, is that a dose of have hope to wipe away that despair. Utopian believed provides that have hope at the same time glows a light upon no one likely future pathways. At no matter what rate when things fall down completely apart we more successful be ready with no one colorful thoughts about how to make the global whole again. This book is that filled with no one challenging thoughts that are exhibited with such clarity for you are likely to go out at the same time overcome no one brew pub reasons with your brand new found rudeness. It also felt quality to read. It was also a impetuous at the same time easy read – despite how challenging no one of the concepts were considered. I chalk this right up to no one amazing writing. At the same time amazing it must be because this book was initially written in Dutch at the same time survived the translation intact. Purchase two copies: one yourself at the same time one for your comrade in arms. One more global in likely!

Review #4 Audio Utopia for Realists: How We Can Build the Standard Global narrated by Peter Authoritative An exciting worldview on configurations we may come in handy in a society with fewer jobs at the same time greater income disparity. Whilst an exciting read it doesn’t shackles forward concrete plans. It feels disjointed. Perhaps because it is that a translation.
