In this book, Senator Bernie Sanders argues that unfettered capitalism is responsible for unprecedented levels of income and wealth inequality, undermines democracy, and destroys the planet. He questions the economic order that allows a few billionaires to control more wealth than the bottom half of society and a political system that permits the super-rich to influence elections and politicians. Sanders advocates for fundamental economic and political change, recognizing economic rights as human rights and working towards a society that provides a decent standard of living for all.
