**Description:**
"Humankind: A Hopeful History" by Rutger Bregman challenges the common belief that human beings are inherently selfish and self-interested. This belief has deep roots in Western thought, from Machiavelli to Hobbes, Freud to Dawkins, and it has influenced our understanding of human nature.
Bregman presents a revolutionary argument, suggesting that it is both realistic and transformative to assume that people are fundamentally good. He delves into the evolutionary basis of cooperation and trust, tracing these instincts back to the earliest days of Homo sapiens. Bregman argues that our pessimistic views of human nature, which assume the worst in others, have negative consequences for our politics and economics.
In this thought-provoking book, Rutger Bregman reinterprets some of history's most famous studies and events to provide a fresh perspective on the last 200,000 years of human history. He draws on real-life examples, from the Lord of the Flies to the Blitz, a Siberian fox farm to an infamous New York murder, and psychological experiments like Stanley Milgram's Yale shock machine and the Stanford prison experiment. Bregman's thesis is that believing in human kindness and altruism can serve as a new way of thinking and a foundation for achieving positive change in society.
"Humankind" challenges prevailing notions about human nature and encourages readers to consider the possibility of a more hopeful and compassionate view of humanity.
