«Im Grunde gut: Eine neue Geschichte der Menschheit» is Rutger Bregman's essay, published by Rowohlt Taschenbuch in paperback (480 pages, in German).
Bregman argues that evil does not define human beings and reviews cases and studies to show that trust and cooperation have driven history. Assuming people's goodness, he notes, allows us to rethink society and opens the door to a fairer, more hopeful future.
Originally published as «De meeste mensen deugen» in 2019, the work won the Publieksprijs voor het Nederlandse Boek in 2020; the German translation is by Ulrich Faure and Gerd Busse.
For readers of historical and philosophical essays interested in human nature, social cooperation, and optimistic ideas of social change.
