This week, Chris and I take a look at Rutger Bregman's "Utopia for Realists: How We Can Build the Ideal World." We revisit Bregman's two viral moments: telling Davos the answer is to raie taxes and telling Tucker Carlson he's part of that problem. The need for imagination and AOC. Good UBIs and trash UBIs like Andrew Yang's. "Non-reformist reforms." Nationalism and basic incomes. Bregman's open borders argument. 15-hour work works. Nationalistic rhetoric.ch
