A Crisis of the Imagination | Aaron Meets Rutger Bregman

“Taxes” was the word on everyone’s lips after the annual Davos conference this year. The man who had dared utter it amongst the financial elite was Rutger Bregman, a Dutch historian whose no nonsense savaging of the establishment brought him viral fame.

His latest book ‘Utopia for Realists: And How We Can Get There’ argues the case for a Universal Basic Income, Open Borders, and a 15-hour Work Week. Aaron sat down with him to unpack some of the ideas in the book and discuss the utopia that Bregman sketches out.
