Krátky popis
'A declaration of faith in the innate goodness and natural decency
of human beings (Stephen Fry), at a time when this message could
not be more necessary.&,nbsp,Humankind challenged me and made
me see humanity from a fresh perspective&,nbsp,Yuval Noah
Harari, author of Sapiens&,nbsp,Wonderfully unexpected, and
very persuasive Philip Pullman 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. The instinct to
cooperate rather than compete, trust rather than distrust, has an
evolutionary basis going right back to the beginning of Homo
sapiens.By thinking the worst of others, we bring out the worst in
our politics and economics too. In this major book,
international-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 cooperation seen in the
aftermath of the Blitz, the hidden flaws in the Stanford Prison
Experiment to the true story of the Kitty Genovese murder, 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. 'The topic is
vital, the sweep immense, and the storytelling is spellbinding.
This is a fabulous book' Tim Harford, author of The Undercover
Economist&,nbsp,Bregman s understanding of history leads to a
new view of human nature.Humankind changes the conversation and
lights the path to a brighter future. We need it now more than ever
Susan Cain, author of Quiet&,nbsp,'Make a note of Humankind.
It's an exceptional read' Matt Haig A Guardian Book to Look Out For
