Every milestone of civilisation     from the end of slavery to the beginning of democracy     was once considered a utopian fantasy. New utopian ideas such as universal basic income and a fifteen-hour work week can become reality in our lifetime.\u003cbr\u003eFrom a Canadian city that once completely eradicated poverty, to Richard Nixon's near implementation of a basic income for millions of Americans, Bregman takes us on a journey through history, beyond the traditional left-right divides, as he introduces ideas whose time has come.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAs the 2025 BBC Reith Lecturer, Rutger Bregman will present 'Moral Revolution', a four part series-\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e-A Time of Monsters\u003cbr\u003e-How To Start a Moral Revolution\u003cbr\u003e-A Realist's Utopia\u003cbr\u003e-Zoom Out\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAvailable to listen on BBC Four\u003c\/b\u003e","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46619407188126,"sku":"UBD-9781408893210","price":26.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9781408893210.jpg?v=1773898681","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9781408893210","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
