It's OK to Be Angry About Capitalism

By: Senator Bernie Sanders, John Nichols

Narrated by: Senator Bernie Sanders

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.

BERNIE IS NOT AFRAID TO TELL THE TRUTH

I think young people follow Bernie because he has the courage to tell the unvarnished TRUTH: UNREGULATED CAPITALISM IS EVIL. (Evil is my word but I think Bernie might agree). I am 78 and not a genius and only a college degree (history) but I have figured this out years ago. Socialism is not a bad word. Yes, I agree we don’t want 100% socialism. That would be communism and communism just doesn’t work but unregulated capitalism doesn’t work any better.
We desperately need a nation who can and will think critically and I believe almost 100% will be following Bernie. There is a word from Greek tragedy: a Cassandra. It is someone who tells the truth but no one believes them. (Or in Bernie’s case not enough people believe him.). He is a shining beacon in a black America.

If you care about freedom, you’ll love this

I loved this book and feel far more excited to learn more about the greats of most of the civil rights movements from all over the world. I’m sure you’ll love this book as well.

Bernie is just plain right!

I love Bernie's platform and stand against Uber capitalism. His takedown of the status quo in this book is right on the money. If hlaf the people who claim to care about the state of the economy, the country, and the world listened to and understood this book, we could actually make progressive change that is desperately needed.

excellent book! love me some Bernie

Fantastic, simple articulation of the core beliefs of this true American patriot. Bernie is truly a man of the people.
