pineconek 's review for:
Utopia for Realists: How We Can Build the Ideal World
by Rutger Bregman
Full disclosure: I've never read a book that could be considered economics, so I'm coming from an inexperienced place. Now that that's out of the way: I loved this book.
There's a lot that Bregman does right when outlining these ideas. He provides data alongside moral arguments, engages with criticism, and remains that he may not be completely right. The writing is punchy, direct, and accessible which made this a very fast and enjoyable read. I feel like I learned a lot about economic history and am able to further refine some of my own utopian ideals.
In all, a very enjoyable read. I'd recommend it if you're at all interested in an alternate economic landscape and believe that society should serve all people (and not the other way around). Five resounding stars.
