Humankind (2020) is an optimistic study of its namesake. For centuries, the message seemed to be carved in stone: Humans are evil by nature, and only the veneer of civilization keeps us from terrorizing and murdering each other. The author Rutger Bregman aims to dispel that prejudice and reveal that our essential nature is peaceful and friendly. Perhaps humanity – as recent discoveries from disciplines like archeology and criminology suggest – is actually much less selfish than we think.

In his 2017 book Utopias for Realists, Bregman made the case for a universal basic income, open borders, and a 15-hour workweek.

Drawing on the author’s experiences of working behind the scenes to further America’s interests, it sheds light on how the United States uses debt to manipulate and control smaller nations. Twelve years after its first publication in 2004, enough had changed to warrant a second look at how a new generation of Economic Hit Men have been peddling influence abroad – and at home.

James Lovelock, who turned 100 years old while writing this book, is lauded as one of the most important environmental thinkers of our time. He’s most notably known for his work on the Gaia hypothesis which, when it was first formulated in the 1970s, revolutionized how science would come to conceive of the relationship between the earth and its inhabitants. Over the course of his life, Lovelock has authored more than 200 scientific papers, and written many books in which he expands on the concept of Gaia including Gaia: A New Look at Life on Earth, The Revenge of Gaia, and The Vanishing Face of Gaia.
