AB  - The contemporary conceptions of universal basic income (by Guy Standing), tax havens extraction (by Gabriel Zucman), and climate emergency (by Christiana Figueres) are briefly presented in the form of exposition in Massive Attack’s Eutopia EP. These conceptions address the most concerning issues of today’s world, while the concept of eutopia, proposed by Massive Attack’s Robert Del Naja and Mark Donne, represents “a place of well-being, as a practical aspiration,” a realistic utopia in which those issues are resolved. The present paper discusses the conceptions presented in Eutopia, assessing the possibility of the materialisation of eutopia. As suggested by Massive Attack, the ideas of Eutopia can be traced back to More’s Utopia, being rooted in a humanistic endeavour of improving humanity, inspiring engagement and search for a better and just society. Apart from discussing Eutopia, the paper explores Another Now, the political science-fiction novel by Yanis Varoufakis. Varoufakis’ critique of capitalism and the alternative he proposes in the novel Another Now argue along the same line as Eutopia, encouraging engagement in today’s world.
AB  - Savremene koncepcije univerzalnog osnovnog prihoda (Gaj Stending), poreskih rajeva (Gabrijel Zukman) i klimatskog vanrednog stanja (Kristijana Figeres) kratko su predstavljene u formi izlaganja u EP Eutopia muzičkog sastava Massive Attack. Ove koncepcije odnose se na najzabrinjavajuće probleme današnjeg sveta, pri čemu pojam eutopije, koji predlažu Robert Del Naja iz Massive Attack i Mark Don, predstavlja „mesto blagostanja i praktične aspiracije‟, odnosno, realističnu utopiju u kojoj su spomenuti problemi razrešeni. U ovom radu se raspravlja o koncepcijama iz Eutopia, uz procenu mogućnosti ostvarenja eutopije. Kao što Massive Attack u naznakama nagoveštava, ideje iz Eutopia mogu se pronaći u Morovoj Utopiji, delu koje je utemeljeno u humanističkom poduhvatu poboljšanja čovečanstva, koje nadahnjuje angažovanost i potragu za boljim i pravednijim društvom. Pored razmatranja ideja iz Eutopia, u radu se razmatra Drugo sada, politički roman naučne fantastike Janisa Varufakisa. Varufakisova kritika kapitalizma i predlog alternative u Drugom sada polaze od ideja koje su slične onima iz Eutopia, ohrabrujući angažovanost u današnjem svetu.
