Utopia for Realists

This book by Rutger Bregman came up once on Joe Rogan in the episodes we index. That mention was a genuine on-air recommendation, not just a passing reference. The people who brought it up: Jack Symes. Every occurrence below links to the episode page and to the exact second it was said on YouTube.

From a universal basic income to a 15-hour workweek, from a world without borders to a world without poverty, it’s time to return to utopian thinking. Rutger Bregman takes us on a journey through history, beyond the traditional left-right divides, as he introduces ideas whose time has come. Utopia for Realists is one of those rare books that takes you by surprise and challenges what you think you know.
