The Rebels: Elizabeth Warren, Bernie Sanders, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and the Struggle for a New American Politics

Book • 2024
The Rebels chronicles the transformation of the Democratic Party through the careers of Elizabeth Warren, Bernie Sanders, and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.

The book explores how the 2008 financial crisis turned these figures into national icons and how they have led a political revolution against the unfairness of the American system.

It delves into the party's shift from New Deal and Great Society policies to a focus on Wall Street in the 1980s and 1990s, and how the rise of economic populism has reshaped American politics.

The book also examines the divisions within the Democratic Party and the ongoing struggle to unite the party and the country in a highly polarized political landscape.
