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 “A clarion call against the American
oligarchs . . . powerful.”— The Guardian 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 politicians and swing elections? 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.
