About the Author

Bernie Sanders is serving his third term in the U.S. Senate and is the longest serving Independent member of Congress in American history. As Chairman of the Budget Committee, he helped write the $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan, one of the most significant pieces of legislation in modern American history. Now, as the newly-elected Chairman of the Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee (HELP), Sanders will be in an even stronger position to continue his leadership on the fight for Medicare for All, for combating climate change, and for making public colleges and universities tuition free.

Reviews

An attack on the status quo from every conceivable direction ... galvanising and uplifting ... Precisely because Sanders is such a straightforward thinker and writer, he insists on some facts that the political establishment - on both sides - wilfully ignores.
*The Guardian*

I can't wait until everybody reads this book... it's like holding a little piece of hope in your hands.
*Emma Dabiri*

Bernie Sanders opens his latest book with a compelling thought: conventional wisdom says you get more conservative in politics as you grow older, but he finds himself going the opposite direction. The 81-year-old writes exactly how he speaks - with passion and in his signature blunt style ... The book embodies Sanders' politics.
*The Independent*

Sanders lays forth a well-reasoned platform of programs to retool the American economy for greater equity ... the plutocrats might want to take cover.
*Kirkus*

Our favorite democratic socialist ... Yes, it is okay to be angry about capitalism, and it's even better to do something about it.
*Jacobin*

A noble purpose ... a powerful new book.
*The Guardian*

Reality keeps endorsing Bernie Sanders. Pass it on.
*Naomi Klein*

A message of hope and courage - that collective action can rid the world of injustice.
*Owen Jones*

Gives us a glimpse of what politics could be like.
*Yanis Varoufakis*

Only Bernie Sanders can break the power of capitalism.
*Paul Mason*

A decent, honest person. It's pretty unusual in the political system.
*Noam Chomsky*

Sanders' success today shows that much of America is tired of rising inequality and these so-called political changes and intends to revive both a progressive agenda and the American tradition of egalitarianism.
