About the books

Humankind: A Hopeful History re-examines a central assumption in politics, psychology, and history — that people are naturally selfish. Rutger Bregman makes a compelling, well-researched case that assuming people are good is not naïve but realistic. Drawing on history, sociology, and psychology, this paperback edition argues that many social systems and policies worsen outcomes by starting from the worst in people. Humankind invites readers to rethink public policy, justice, and community from a more humane, evidence-driven perspective.

Utopia for Realists: And How We Can Get There explores bold but implementable ideas — from universal basic income to a shorter workweek — that have the potential to reshape work, welfare, and happiness. Bregman, a bestselling Dutch historian, traces how past “utopian” ideas became accepted realities and makes the case that practical utopias are achievable in our lifetime. The book blends history, economics, and accessible storytelling to show how ambitious reforms can be grounded in evidence.
