So this week I was at the World Economic Forum, the annual gathering of the world's elite. It was a bizarre experience. Inequality is rising and rising and almost nobody in Davos was talking about the most obvious and effective solution: TAXES. I felt like I was at a firefighters conference where no one was allowed to use the word 'WATER'. Anyway, they'll probably won't invite me again next year, but I'm glad I had the opportunity to say what needed to be said. | Rutger Bregman

If you were young in the 1990s, it was avant-garde to be cynical and nihilistic. Irony was cool, values were passé. If you’re young now, it’s avant-garde to protest and occupy, to engage and stay true to your values. Activism is the new realism. So whether you’re young or old, boomer or Gen Z: don’t be afraid to be dismissed as gullible or naive. What’s naive today may be common sense tomorrow. Cynicism is out, hope is in. | Rutger Bregman

Here's to the ordinary ones. The maintainers. The ones who do the dirty work and fix things. The teachers and cleaners, the nurses and the waste collectors. They are the real wealth creators, the strongest shoulders that carry us all. --> Love this variation on the famous Apple 'Think Different' commercial. https://thankdifferent.de | Rutger Bregman

Poverty is not a lack of character, it's just a lack of cash. And it's been so exhilarating to see this simple but crucial insight spreading around the globe! The NY Times recently published an article with a title that says it all: 'Guaranteed Income Programs Spread, City by City'. In the US alone, four dozen pilot programs have started since 2020. (see here: https://lnkd.in/e93qGdif) I was interviewed on Al Jazeera English about this hopeful trend – and about both of my books. Check out the fu
