NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • A progressive takedown of the uber-capitalist status quo that has
enriched millionaires and billionaires at the expense of the working class and a blueprint for
what transformational change would actually look like It’s OK to be angry about capitalism.
Reflecting on our turbulent times Senator Bernie Sanders takes on the billionaire class and
speaks blunt truths about our country’s failure to address the destructive nature of a system
that is fueled by uncontrolled greed and rigidly committed to prioritizing corporate profits
over the needs of ordinary Americans. Sanders argues that unfettered capitalism is to blame for
an unprecedented level of income and wealth inequality is undermining our democracy and is
destroying our planet. How can we accept an economic order that allows three billionaires to
control more wealth than the bottom half of our society? How can we accept a political system
that allows the super rich to buy elections and politicians? How can we accept an energy system
that rewards the fossil fuel corporations causing the climate crisis? Sanders believes that in
the face of these overwhelming challenges the American people must ask tough questions about
the systems that have failed us and demand fundamental economic and political change. This is
where the path forward begins. It’s OK to Be Angry About Capitalism presents a vision that
extends beyond the promises of past campaigns to reveal what would be possible if the political
revolution took place if we would finally recognize that economic rights are human rights and
if we would work to create a society that provides a decent standard of living for all. This
isn’t some utopian fantasy this is democracy as we should know it.
