The article reflects on Rutger Bregman's argument advocating for a change in the definition of a good job, pushing for moral ambition instead of mere financial success. The author questions whether bankers and influencers will agree to this shift and critiques Bregman's focus on individual heroism. Emphasizing the importance of a collective, governmental approach to creating equitable societies, the article highlights how moral awareness can instigate change, contrasting with Bregman’s perspective. Personal anecdotes illustrate the lifestyle sacrifices involved in pursuing nonprofit work and the impactful, albeit quieter contributions made by others.
Bregman's call for moral ambition raises questions about the willingness of those in power to abandon financial pursuits for a more equitable societal vision.
While Bregman values ambitious change-makers, it's essential to recognize the role of awareness—and the quieter efforts of many—that drive societal improvement.
