Duration: 2 hours

Description: Join Basic Income Australia for a special edition of our Online Book Club, where we’ll be discussing two thought-provoking books by Rutger Bregman: Utopia for Realists – A bold vision for a better world, advocating for Universal Basic Income, shorter workweeks, and open borders. Bregman presents compelling evidence that ideas once considered utopian can become reality. Humankind – A radical rethinking of human nature that challenges the assumption that people are inherently selfish. Bregman argues that cooperation, kindness, and trust are at the heart of our success as a species. Together, these books offer an optimistic yet practical roadmap for a better society—one where UBI plays a key role in reshaping work, welfare, and the economy. Haven't had a chance to read the book? Don't worry and come along anyway as you'll still be able to take part in a great discussion!
