Everyday Utopia: Better Ways of Living Equally

English

By (author): Kristen Ghodsee

Anthropologist Kristen Ghodsee looks at pioneering experiments in communal living to present a rousing argument for rethinking what we mean by home.

A must-read THOMAS PIKETTY
Just wonderful ANGELA SAINI

Throughout history and around the world today, forward-thinking communities have pioneered alternative ways of living together, sharing property and raising children. In Everyday Utopia, anthropologist Kristen Ghodsee explores what we can learn from these experiments from the ancient Greek commune founded by Pythagoras to the trail-blazing feminists of the French Revolution, from the cohousing movement in contemporary Denmark to the flourishing ecovillages of Colombia and Portugal. She shows why utopian thinking is essential to making a fairer world and that many of the best ways of getting there begin at home.

This warm, intelligent and lucid book takes us on a deep dive into how people have created better systems for living systems that actually work ROBERT WALDINGER, author of The Good Life and director of the Harvard Study of Adult Developmet
