Welcome to Crisis in Perception, where we examine the systems shaping our world — one book at a time.
In this episode, we explore Utopia for Realists by Rutger Bregman, a historical and systems-level examination of why modern abundance has failed to produce freedom, security, or meaningful time.
The discussion examines the paradox of progress, the persistence of pointless work, and why outdated assumptions about productivity and poverty continue to shape economic life. Rather than focusing on policy prescriptions, the episode explores how imagination itself has become the limiting factor in social progress.
