Former presidential hopeful Bernie Sanders
[[link removed]] is to publish a
book outlining “a vision of what would be possible if the political
revolution took place”.

It’s OK to Be Angry About Capitalism will be published by Penguin
Random House
[[link removed]] in
February 2023.

The book, said the publisher, will look at what happens if “we would
finally recognise that economic rights are human rights, and work to
create a society that provides them”.

Publishing director Thomas Penn said It’s OK to Be Angry About
Capitalism was a “scorching denunciation of a system that is
manifestly failing the vast majority of people along with the planet
itself”.

“But there is, he says, another way: if we are prepared to call out
uber-capitalism for what it is, together we can bring about
transformational change,” Penn added. “Humane, clear-eyed and –
yes – angry, this is a vital book for our times and for our future.
We are thrilled to be publishing it.”

It’s OK to Be Angry About Capitalism has editorial contributions
from John Nichols, an award-winning progressive author and journalist
who works as a national affairs correspondent for the Nation magazine.

messaging

Sanders is currently serving his third term in the US senate after 16
years in the House of Representatives and is the longest serving
independent member of Congress in American history. He is the chairman
of the budget committee where he helped write the $1.9 trillion
American Rescue Plan.

In an interview with the Guardian
[[link removed]] before
the mid-term elections earlier this month, Sanders was keen to
highlight the financial difficulties people were facing.

“People are hurting,” he said. “You got 60% of our people living
paycheck to paycheck, and for many workers, they are falling further
behind as a result of inflation. Oil company profits are soaring, food
company profits are soaring, drug company profits are soaring.
Corporate profits are at an all-time high.”

Sanders has often been critical of the Democratic party, saying in the
interview that they “haven’t tried” to communicate to voters the
threat of corporate profiteering to the cost of living.

Sanders has run for the Democratic party presidential nomination
twice, in 2016 and 2020, garnering huge support and raising large
amounts of money, but both times ultimately failing to secure the
nomination.
