HUMANKIND - RUTGER BREGMAN KARTONIERT (TB)

THE INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER   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.
