Former presidential hopeful Bernie Sanders is to publish a book outlining a vision of what would be possible if the political revolution took place. Its OK to Be Angry About Capitalism will be published by Penguin Random House 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 Its 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. 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 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 havent tried to communicate to voters the threat of corporate profiteering to the cost of living.

Will it be like his actual policy proposals where his plan for funding it covers less than half of what it will cost to implement it and triples the national budget in the process?
