A review in parts of "De Meeste Mensen Deugen" by Rutger Bregman (1): of Gods and Myths
An English review of a Dutch book. Seems strange, yet this book is a bestseller in the Netherlands and is bound for international glory. And that is understandable. It is well-written, sometimes funny, sometimes cavalier, never dull. Many so-called ‘surprising facts’, however, are less than surprising, or even well known. And it has major flaws that undermine the whole argument of the book, which, I am afraid, few people will recognise, perhaps for lack of interest in the actual content of the book itself....
