Book Review – Humankind – Rutger Bregman

15 August 2021

After 18 months where the world has changed in many remarkable ways and for once, we have had time to think about it, Rutger Bregman’s book provides a thoroughly positive outlook on humanity. Well researched and extremely readable, its theme that humans are basically good and wish to co-operate may seem naive in parts but, reassuringly, it convincingly questions a number of deeply held urban myths and redresses the balance in a world where 24 hour media and news tends to over-report the bad things in life. As we embark once more into the wider world after Covid restrictions are reduced, it is a heartening and thought-provoking read. Recommended.
