A Time of Monsters

A Time of Monsters

The first in a series of public lectures by everyone’s favourite Dutch historian and Weekly Filet regular Rutger Bregman. In his trademark populist-optimist style, he delivers a scathing critique of progressive elites and of Europe’s failure to fill the moral vacuum left by a United States gone MAGA. The polar opposites between which the future is shaped, Bregman argues, are not left versus right, but rather courage versus cowardice.
