Summary
'Bernie Sanders has changed US politics forever' Owen Jones
It's OK to be angry about capitalism。 It's OK to want something better。 Bernie Sanders takes on the 1% and speaks blunt truths about a system that is fuelled by uncontrolled greed， and rigged against ordinary people。 Where a handful of oligarchs have never had it so good， with more money than they could spend in a thousand lifetimes， and the vast majority struggle to survive。 Where a decent standard of living for all seems like an impossible dream。
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？ How can we let it happen any longer？ We must demand fundamental economic and political change。 This is where the path forward begins。
It's OK To Be Angry About Capitalism presents a vision of what would be possible if the political revolution took place。 If we would finally recognize that economic rights are human rights， and work to create a society that provides them。 This isn't some utopian fantasy; this is democracy as we should know it。 Is it really too much to ask？

The greatest president American never had。 Bernie is a crystal clear voice of reason， is an intentionally confused world。 Everyone should read it。

A very interesting and urgent book， if （and only if） you live in the USA。 The matters addressed are （logically） about the American society。 I found it interesting how big money dictates everything in “the richest country in the world” but then read that a great part of the people are poor and millions don’t have access to medical aid， good education or decent paying jobs。 Things we take for granted in Europe and Belgium。 And politics is a real swamp and Trump didn’t drain it at all！One thing i f A very interesting and urgent book， if （and only if） you live in the USA。 The matters addressed are （logically） about the American society。 I found it interesting how big money dictates everything in “the richest country in the world” but then read that a great part of the people are poor and millions don’t have access to medical aid， good education or decent paying jobs。 Things we take for granted in Europe and Belgium。 And politics is a real swamp and Trump didn’t drain it at all！One thing i found weird is that mr。 Sanders didn’t really mention weapons as an issue。 Security should also be on the political agenda but he probably didn’t want to scare a part of his voters away :） 。。。more

Throughout the reading， I could feel myself getting annoyed but couldn't make sure if it was on the style of the writing or just how absurd the US politics is。 The book reaches its goal in explaining the issues of modern politics in the county in a very digestible way。 Difficult questions demands long answers， which is why the book is very thick and pendant。 Its insane how basic his ideas and demands are （in the sense of basic human rights） and yet he is portraited as an extremist。 US is f*cked。 Throughout the reading， I could feel myself getting annoyed but couldn't make sure if it was on the style of the writing or just how absurd the US politics is。 The book reaches its goal in explaining the issues of modern politics in the county in a very digestible way。 Difficult questions demands long answers， which is why the book is very thick and pendant。 Its insane how basic his ideas and demands are （in the sense of basic human rights） and yet he is portraited as an extremist。 US is f*cked。 At least he tries to be optimistic about it。 Would recommend for those looking for a easy 101 on US current political scenario。 。。。more

This was an amazing yet depresing nonfiction political book。 Outstanding narration from the author on the audiobook as well。 This is the most recent account of his views and campaign ideas over the years and how the landscape of billionaire/oligarchy vs the middle class has widened in the last 10 years。 We can only hope that the top 。1% greed does not win vs the middle class。 Overall given the popularity of Trump hasn't weaned despite the endictments doesn't give me much hope for the country。 4。 This was an amazing yet depresing nonfiction political book。 Outstanding narration from the author on the audiobook as well。 This is the most recent account of his views and campaign ideas over the years and how the landscape of billionaire/oligarchy vs the middle class has widened in the last 10 years。 We can only hope that the top 。1% greed does not win vs the middle class。 Overall given the popularity of Trump hasn't weaned despite the endictments doesn't give me much hope for the country。 4。75/5 Summary:It's OK to Be Angry About Capitalism is a 2023 book written by Bernie Sanders， a member of the United States Senate from Vermont， and edited by John Nichols， a journalist for The Nation。 It was published by Crown Publishing Group， a subsidiary of Penguin Random House， on February 21。Sanders dedicated the book to his older brother， Larry， who introduced him to the writings of Sigmund Freud and Karl Marx， while the family struggled to make ends meet。 This interested him in subjects such as politics and history。 Larry is a member of the Green Party of England and Wales。According to Crown， the book is "a progressive takedown of the über-capitalist status quo。" Sanders refers to American billionaires as oligarchs。 He specifically calls Jeff Bezos， the founder of Amazon， "the embodiment of the extreme corporate greed that shapes our times。" Sanders discusses income inequality in the United States， how the influx of money impacts democracy， and suggests that corporations are contributing to the climate crisis。 He warns about technological unemployment stemming from increased automation， calling for increasing taxes on companies that rely excessively on automation to cut costs。 Sanders also talks about news deserts and how the lack of local news leads people to pay more attention to conspiracy theories on social media。 He advocates for providing federal funding for local media。In the book， Sanders discusses the failure of the United States Congress to pass the Build Back Better Act， referring to it as "one of the most difficult， demanding， and demoralizing years" of his congressional tenure。 He criticizes President Joe Biden for failing to follow through on a campaign promise to end federal contracts with companies that oppose unionization of their employees。 Additionally， Sanders writes about his chairmanship of the Senate Budget Committee， his 2016 and 2020 presidential campaigns， the 2020 Democratic Party presidential primaries， the January 6 United States Capitol attack， and the inauguration of Joe Biden， as well as the photo of him attending the latter that became a viral Internet meme。 。。。more

Senator Bernie Sanders。 The mitten man himself。 The unlikely 80-something vanguard of the Democratic progressive movement。 The apogee of his political stardom occurred in 2016 and more prominently during the 2020 primaries， just before I began following politics closely。 Therefore， with It's OK to Be Angry About Capitalism， his stirringly titled 2023 progressive manifesto， I hoped to gain some insight into the ideology of the modern patron saint of the political movement with which I identify， e Senator Bernie Sanders。 The mitten man himself。 The unlikely 80-something vanguard of the Democratic progressive movement。 The apogee of his political stardom occurred in 2016 and more prominently during the 2020 primaries， just before I began following politics closely。 Therefore， with It's OK to Be Angry About Capitalism， his stirringly titled 2023 progressive manifesto， I hoped to gain some insight into the ideology of the modern patron saint of the political movement with which I identify， emerging with a clearer distinction between democratic socialism and social democracy， a righteous disgust with corporate America， and a blueprint to inform my own political activism and advocacy for the systemic change to political and economic institutions in America that so many in my generation demand。 Having submersed myself in Sanders' worldview for about a month now， I can safely say that this book met all three of my entry goals。 Nevertheless， I still feel somewhat that It's OK to Be Angry About Capitalism let me down。The tome has many positives。 Sanders successfully balances his indignant tone with an ultimately hopeful mood， offering inspiring recitations on everything from reforming workers' unions to education， health care， corporate media， and the billionaire class。 His writing is breezy， conversational， and for the most part well-contextualized。 （Perhaps the fact that I had to Google right-to-work laws and the Taft-Hartley Act is a validation of Sanders' point that the establishment's suppression of organized labor movements has been so effective that it has fully stamped the topic out of public discourse。） Sanders' sourcing is varied and scholarly， drawing on both partisan and nonpartisan studies （the Congressional Budget Office and the Economic Policy Institute， yes， but also interviews with diplomats and ministers from oh-so-socialist Scandinavia） to offer numbers， statistics， and anecdotes relating to his proposals for universal health care， free public education， workplace democracy， anti-corporate executive action， and more。 He quotes from the forefathers of the progressive movement—namely FDR and Eugene V。 Debs—to lend his arguments authority。 For anyone not particularly well-versed in progressive politics， this is an excellent introduction。But that's just the problem—what here would appeal to skeptics or those unfamiliar with socialism and its related political movements？ Progressives （like myself） agree with essentially everything Sanders says， so there's no need to write to them。 Conservatives wouldn't pick up anything with Sanders' name on it in the first place。 And as for everyone else， I think this book would actually turn many moderate Americans away from progressive ideologies。 Sanders spends entire chapters bashing both the Democratic and Republican parties for being bought out by "the Big Money interests，" "the corporate media，" "the super-PACs and wealthy campaign contributors，" and "the super delegates" （5）。 For Americans for whom their political party increasingly functions as a source of identity， hearing such conspiratorial rhetoric （however true） may elicit some distaste。 Furthermore， dissecting Sanders' lofty and highly legitimate aspirations for the downfall of uber-capitalism reveals an extremely one-sided argument。 All of those statistics and studies that Sanders includes conveniently affirm Sanders' perspectives and Sanders' perspectives alone。 If you think he's wrong， it's not your sense of critical thinking alerting you to a potentially problematic policy suggestion—according to the senator， it's the fault of the uber-capitalist media and political establishment for brainwashing you into thinking that systemic change is impossible。 One of the most fundamental tenets of effective persuasive dialogue is that accompanying a position with a thorough and engaged exploration of its counterarguments automatically improves your standing in the discussion。 Sanders doesn't just ignore this principle; he derides it throughout the book。The reforms Sanders are proposing are doubtlessly utterly integral to realizing the America that I want my family， my kids， and me to live in。 I trust that if Bernie Sanders had been the Democratic nominee in 2020， he would have beaten Trump and begun the process of forging a healthier， cleaner， more equitable， freer America—It's OK to Be Angry About Capitalism certainly did convince me of that。 As with any political diatribe in bound and published form， though， an author's arguments must be taken with a healthy grain of salt。 At the end of the day， Sanders' arguments did not convert me into a die-hard socialist， even if they did reinvigorate my desire to fight for reform at every level to purge our politics and public discourse of bigotry， nationalism， MAGA conservatism， and corporate greed。 And if I， a highly left-leaning member of Gen Z could not be swayed， I doubt the book will do a whole lot for anyone else。 。。。more

I quite like Bernie sanders he seems a bit like a more charismatic Corbyn I will say this is a very American focused book on American capitalism although there is some overlap with uk politics it is still a separate thing Although I found myself in agreement with majority of his arguments there wasn’t anything here to really challenge my thinking also felt sanders could be quite a polarising figure

Accurate but disappointing This book is a rehash of Bernie's messages for the past several years， plus a detailed listing of his success in allegedly getting more progressive ideas into the mainstream。 He has plenty of solid ideas but not much practical thinking about how to execute them。 This was why I never voted for him。 I'm not sure what I was expecting from this book but I guess it was something， anything， new。 Accurate but disappointing This book is a rehash of Bernie's messages for the past several years， plus a detailed listing of his success in allegedly getting more progressive ideas into the mainstream。 He has plenty of solid ideas but not much practical thinking about how to execute them。 This was why I never voted for him。 I'm not sure what I was expecting from this book but I guess it was something， anything， new。 。。。more

Een wat vermoeiende analyse van de achterstelling van de arbeider in de USA。 Gaat wel erg veel over Bernie zelf （die natuurlijk erg zijn best heeft gedaan maar erg is tegengewerkt door de financiële elite）。 Omdat de tegenstellingen links/rechts in de USA veel sterker zijn dan hier krijgt zijn boek een passie die hier nog ontbreekt （maar wellicht meer resultaat zou hebben）。 Bijv over de macht van de （commerciële） media。
