It belongs to the broad category of historical and social-scientific argument, combining psychology, anthropology, economics, archaeology, and history to challenge one of the most persistent assumptions in modern culture: that human beings are naturally selfish, greedy, and prone to cruelty. Bregman argues instead that cooperation, trust, and decency are not naïve ideals but deeply rooted human tendencies with an evolutionary basis. The book revisits well-known examples and research episodes, including the Stanford prison experiment, Stanley Milgram’s obedience studies, the Blitz, and the bystander story behind the New York murder case often used to illustrate social apathy. Its purpose is not simply to defend an optimistic mood, but to show how beliefs about human nature shape institutions, politics, and everyday behavior.
