Humankind: A Hopeful History by Rutger Bregman

Humankind: A Hopeful History

A bold, brilliantly researched, and deeply optimistic challenge to one of the most pervasive assumptions of our time — that humans are, at their core, selfish, violent, and corrupt. Rutger Bregman, one of Europe’s most celebrated young thinkers and author of Utopia for Realists, argues with rigour, wit, and compassion that the opposite is true: that most people, most of the time, are fundamentally decent.

About the Book

• Challenges the cynical view of human nature embedded in mainstream economics, political science, and popular culture — and replaces it with a compelling, evidence-based case for human goodness
• Revisits famous experiments and historical events — including the Stanford Prison Experiment, the Milgram obedience studies, and the real story of the Rwandan genocide — and shows how they have been misrepresented
• Tells extraordinary true stories of human decency under pressure — from soldiers who refused to shoot to communities that responded to disaster with solidarity, not savagery
• Draws on psychology, anthropology, history, and evolutionary biology to build a new, more hopeful understanding of who we really are
• Ends with a practical manifesto for how we can redesign our institutions, media, and communities around a more realistic and generous view of human nature
