Summary

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。

There often are not books that will both educate you and validate your feelings about the current state of affairs, but Senator Bernie Sanders’ new book does just that。 In “It’s Okay to be Angry About Capitalism”, Bernie breaks down piece by piece how our current form of capitalism has brought us into the country we live in today where less than 1% of our population owns more than the bottom 92% and CEO’s make 350 times more than their workers, where we live everyday that our economy is based on There often are not books that will both educate you and validate your feelings about the current state of affairs, but Senator Bernie Sanders’ new book does just that。 In “It’s Okay to be Angry About Capitalism”, Bernie breaks down piece by piece how our current form of capitalism has brought us into the country we live in today where less than 1% of our population owns more than the bottom 92% and CEO’s make 350 times more than their workers, where we live everyday that our economy is based on innovation and competition, but only a handful of corporations actually control the marketplace and stomp out competitors with ease。 From antiquated taxation and education systems to the monopolized media conglomerates controlling narratives to the long practiced distraction politics, Bernie weaves together every piece to explain how this tangled web has developed over the past century。I have always respected Bernie Sanders for a few key reasons。 He understands the need to invest in our young adults and the youth vote in politics and understands the power that they hold。 He is able to not only point out the issues that he sees but also present well thought out solutions to those problems。 He knows that there is no silver bullet to societal issues and that it won’t happen overnight, but the hard work that societal change demands must be done。Thank you Crown Publishing for the free advanced copy of this book。 Even if you agree or disagree with Sanders, I could not recommend it enough。 I finished it in one day because it was that compelling。Get @berniesanders’ new book from @randomhouse and @crownpublishing on February 21, 2023。 #angryaboutcapitalism 。。。more
