The human race a future full of hope - Rutger Brügman

If there is a common belief among both extremes of psychologists, philosophers, and thinkers, ancient and modern, it is the implicit assumption that humans are inherently evil. It is a concept that has occupied newspaper headlines and laws that govern our lives based on it: from Machiavelli to Hobbes, from Freud to Pinker, the roots of this belief have been deeply planted in Western thought. We were taught that as children of the human race, we are naturally selfish and driven by primal instincts. But what if this assumption is not correct? The author: Rutger Bregman offers us a view of human history for two million years, to prove with evidence that we are good, inclined to cooperation rather than competition, and have an innate tendency to trust each other, and that the basis of this tendency goes back to the existence of rational humans.
