Rutger Bregman is an author and historian who has been called ‘The Dutch wunderkind of new ideas’ by The Guardian Newspaper. He has twice been nominated for the prestigious European Press Prize for his journalism work at The Correspondent. His latest book ‘Utopia for Realists’ makes a passionate case for universal basic income, open borders and a 15-hour workweek. I had the opportunity to hear him talk at the RSA in London recently and it’s my great pleasure to welcome him onto the show now.
