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.
How can we accept an economic order that allows three billionaires to control more wealth than the bottom half of our society? How can we accept a political system that allows the super-rich to buy elections and politicians? How can we accept an energy system that rewards the fossil fuel corporations causing the climate crisis? How can we let it happen any longer? We must demand fundamental economic and political change. This is where the path forward begins.
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?

First published in 1967, Ernest Cole’s House of Bondage has been lauded as one of the most significant photobooks of the twentieth century, revealing the horrors of apartheid to the world for the first time and influencing generations of photographers around the globe.
Reissued for contemporary audiences, this edition adds a chapter of unpublished work found in a recently resurfaced cache of negatives and recontextualizes this pivotal book for our time.
Cole, a Black South African man, photographed the underbelly of apartheid in the 1950s and ’60s, often at great personal risk. He methodically captured the myriad forms of violence embedded in everyday life for the Black majority under the apartheid system—picturing its miners, its police, its hospitals, its schools. In 1966, Cole fled South Africa and smuggled out his negatives; House of Bondage was published the following year with his writings and first-person account.
This edition retains the powerful story of the original while adding new perspectives on Cole’s life and the legacy of House of Bondage. It also features an added chapter—compiled and titled “Black Ingenuity” by Cole—of never-before-seen photographs of Black creative expression and cultural activity taking place under apartheid.
Made available again nearly fifty-five years later, House of Bondage remains a visually powerful and politically incisive document of the apartheid era.
This forward-thinking Handbook explores cutting-edge research on
how employees within firms should be managed in order to increase
their wellbeing and performance. Expert contributors explore an
emerging stream of research in human resource management (HRM)
which suggests that attention should be paid to how line managers
implement HR practices and how employees perceive, understand and
attribute these HR practices. Chapters consider the implications of
employees' and leaders' HR attributions and their performance, HRM
system strength, change, talent management and the role of line
managers in the HRM process. Providing an overview of the current
knowledge in the HR process research, the Handbook also discusses
future avenues and directions for the field. Demonstrating the
dynamics of how HR practices impact organisational and individual
outcomes, this Handbook will be critical reading for scholars and
students of human resource management, organisational behaviour and
research methods in business and management. It will also be
beneficial for HR professionals seeking to understand how they can
increase the effectiveness of their HR management.
The first publication of Ernest Cole’s photographs depicting
Black lives in the United States during the turbulent and eventful
late 1960s and early ’70s After the publication of his landmark
1967 book House of Bondage on the horrors of apartheid,
Ernest Cole moved to New York and received a grant from the Ford
Foundation to document Black communities in cities and rural areas
of the United States. He released very few images from this body of
work while he was alive. Thought to be lost entirely, the negatives
of Cole’s American pictures resurfaced in Sweden in 2017. Ernest
Cole photographed extensively in New York City, documenting the
lively community of Harlem, including a thrilling series of color
photographs, as he turned his talent to street photography across
Manhattan. In 1968 Cole traveled to Chicago, Cleveland, Memphis,
Atlanta, and Los Angeles, as well as rural areas of the South,
capturing the mood of different Black communities in the months
leading up to and just after the assassination of Martin Luther
King Jr. The pictures both reflect a newfound hope and freedom that
Cole felt in America, and an incisive eye for inequality as he
became increasingly disillusioned by the systemic racism he
witnessed. This treasure trove of rediscovered work provides an
important window into American society and redefines Cole’s
oeuvre, presenting a fuller picture of the life and work of a man
who fled South Africa and exposed life under apartheid to the
world.
