<p><b>Anthropologist Kristen Ghodsee looks at pioneering experiments in communal living to present a rousing argument for rethinking what we mean by home.</b><br><br>'A must-read' <b>THOMAS PIKETTY</b><br>'Just wonderful' <b>ANGELA SAINI</b><br><br>Throughout history and around the world today, forward-thinking communities have pioneered alternative ways of living together, sharing property and raising children. In <i>Everyday Utopia</i>, 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.<br><br><b>'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' </b>ROBERT WALDINGER, author of <i>The Good Life </i>and director of the Harvard Study of Adult Developmet<br><br><b>'Exhilarating. A powerful reminder that dreaming of better worlds is not just some fantastical project but also a very serious political one'</b> REBECCA TRAISTER, author of <i>Good and Mad</i><br><br><b>'Splendid. Invigorating writing for a cheerless era'</b> YANIS VAROUFAKIS, author of <i>Technofeudalism</i><br><br><b>'A vision of what our future could be if we dare to dream'</b> SUSAN NEIMAN, Left Is Not Woke</p>
