Survival Of The Friendliest

Saturday, 20th Nov
12:00 pm - 12:45 pm IST

Rutger Bregman believes in humanity. He thinks people are fundamentally good, and left to their instincts will more often be co-operative than harmful to each other. Drawing on sources in history, archeology, economics, anthropology, he presents an optimistic world view and urges that people should be dreaming of a better future, should embrace change, and not be mired in the fears of the past. He will discuss this premise as argued in his new book Humankind: A Hopeful History.
