History for Tomorrow: Inspiration from the Past for the Future of Humanity

by Roman Krznaric

History for Tomorrow is an empowering book by Oxford-based social philosopher Roman Krznaric, arguing that we have much to learn from history about how to tackle the challenges we face today. Krznaric focuses on ten existential challenges (including climate change, weakening of democracy, social media polarization) and how episodes from the past can help us to navigate them. Underlying the book is the notion that it’s not technology that will solve the world’s problems, but human ingenuity and our ability to organize ourselves to make change.
