1. Utopia For Realister
How We Can Build the Ideal World
The book argues that ambitious, formerly radical ideas—universal basic income, a much shorter workweek, and far more open borders—are practical and necessary responses to modern prosperity and automation; it combines historical perspective and case studies of cash-transfer experiments and social programs to show these policies can reduce poverty, improve health and happiness, and boost creativity, and it calls for embracing realistic utopian thinking to design bold public policies that make society fairer and more prosperous.
