Utopia for Realists: And How We Can Get There

Really enjoyed this; I was in need of a non-fiction fix and this delivered it. Very well written essay on how the world could be a better place (and especially well written considering it’s a translation from Dutch). I went into it expecting to agree with the author on some points and disagree on others but mostly I felt talked a lot of sense. Certainly on the things I already knew a fair amount about he seemed to have his head screwed on. It left me with lots of things to explore (and lots of citations to follow up, though as always it’s super annoying not being able to access academic journal articles easily) and lots to think about.
