It's OK To Be Angry About Capitalism by Bernie Sanders - digital assets and event livestream

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.

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?

To celebrate the release of the book, Allen lane have a digital pack of assets available for libraries and colleges.

You can also watch a livestream of Bernie Sanders’ recent event about the book at the Southbank Centre here.

We would love to see you using the resources on social media using #ItsOkToBeAngryAboutCapitalism and tagging PenguinUKBooks and readingagency.
