Former U.S. presidential candidate Bernie Sanders discusses the dangers of an unregulated capitalist system and explores policies to make the U.S. more equitable.

America was founded on democracy, but is it really a democracy when a small group of wealthy people has the power to influence public policy, media, and culture for their own gain?

Bernie Sanders is a Democratic U.S. senator from Vermont who ran for president in 2016 and 2020.

Forgoing the traditional campaign financing method of raising money from the wealthy, Sanders made waves for his early success in the 2020 primaries, though ultimately did not win the ballot.

In It's OK to Be Angry About Capitalism, Sanders lays out the many problems with America's current hyper-capitalist system and the inequality it's creating.

Sanders also outlines many solutions to these problems, including proposals he's championed in recent years.
