According to Crown, the book, Sanders’ sixth, will be both an assessment of the disaster of our current levels of wealth inequality, and a call to action.

In It’s OK to Be Angry About Capitalism, Sanders argues that unfettered capitalism is creating an unprecedented level of income and wealth inequality, is undermining our democracy, and is leading to the destruction of our planet. How can we accept an economic order that allows three billionaires to own more wealth than the bottom half of our society? How can we accept a political system that allows the very rich to buy elections and politicians? How can we accept an energy system that rewards fossil fuel corporations that are causing the climate crisis?

And yet, there is a path forward. Sanders presents a vision of what would be possible if the political revolution were to occur, if we recognize that economic rights are human rights and work to create a society that provides a decent standard of living for all.

7. It's dumb to think one should live in a cave if one opposes capitalism.

It’s sort of like the “love or leave it thing.” You can support socialism and shop at Walmart. You can work there too, and support socialism.

In any event, I am curious how Sanders will define capitalism in this book. Too many people equate capitalism with something like “system of growth”. That’s unfortunate given that the large majority of people want much more and faster economic growth than there has been.
