HUMANKIND - RUTGER BREGMAN KARTONIERT (TB)

THE INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER - FROM THE 2025 BBC REITH LECTURER   A Guardian   Daily Telegraph
New Statesman and Daily Express Book of the Year    'Hugely  highly and happily recommended'
Stephen Fry   'You should read Humankind . You'll learn a lot (I did) and you'll have good
reason to feel better about the human race' Tim Harford   'Made me see humanity from a fresh
perspective' Yuval Noah Harari   It's a belief that unites the left and right  psychologists
and philosophers  writers and historians. It drives the headlines that surround us and the laws
that touch our lives. From Machiavelli to Hobbes  Freud to Dawkins  the roots of this belief
have sunk deep into Western thought. Human beings  we're taught  are by nature selfish and
governed by self-interest.   Humankind makes a new argument: that it is realistic  as well as
revolutionary  to assume that people are good. By thinking the worst of others  we bring out
the worst in our politics and economics too.  In this major book  internationally bestselling
author Rutger Bregman takes some of the world's most famous studies and events and reframes
them  providing a new perspective on the last 200 000 years of human history. From the
real-life Lord of the Flies to the Blitz  a Siberian fox farm to an infamous New York murder 
Stanley Milgram's Yale shock machine to the Stanford prison experiment  Bregman shows how
believing in human kindness and altruism can be a new way to think - and act as the foundation
for achieving true change in our society.  It is time for a new view of human nature.   As the
2025 BBC Reith Lecturer  Rutger Bregman will present 'Moral Revolution'  a four part series: 
-A Time of Monsters -How To Start a Moral Revolution -A Realist's Utopia -Zoom Out  Available
to listen on BBC Four
