Ancient thinkers and modern authors, psychologists and philosophers, politicians of right and left views agree that man is inherently bad. We are told that we humans are selfish and are driven primarily by personal interests. But what if it isn't? Rutger Bregman offers a new perspective on human history. It shows that we are programmed to be kind, cooperative, and more likely to trust others than to be suspicious of each other. And this instinct has a solid evolutionary foundation laid down in the early stages of Homo sapiens evolution. Bregman gives a real story that refutes the idea of “Lord of the Flies”, tells about the fabrication of high-profile psychological experiments, about two twin brothers who, despite the difference in views, helped prevent civil war.
