Humankind makes a new...

Bregman, Rutger

Summary: By providing a new historical perspective on the last 200,000 years of human history, Rutger Bregman sets out to prove that we are in fact hard-wired for kindness, geared toward cooperation rather than competition, and more inclined to trust rather than distrust one another.
