Utopia for Realists & Humankind by Rutger Bregman - 2 Book Set Collection

This two-book set brings together Humankind and Utopia for Realists by Rutger Bregman. Across both titles, Bregman questions assumptions that influence public debate, policy and everyday life, drawing on ideas associated with Western thought, from Machiavelli and Hobbes to Freud and Dawkins.
