Reich's vision of a "saved" capitalism is similar to Sanders' version of "democratic socialism," which he defined during his campaign as a program of reforms along the lines of Social Security, Medicare and the other great social welfare programs of the 20th century. He wants a more just and democratic version of it, summarized in the subtitle of Saving Capitalism: "For the Many, Not the Few." But the capitalism that Reich wants to rescue isn't our present system of spiraling inequality. It might seem odd that someone who wants to save capitalism would support a candidate who famously calls himself as a socialist. ![]() But the book that might best serve as a manifesto for the Sanders phenomenon is Saving Capitalism by Robert Reich, an economics professor, former labor secretary under Bill Clinton-and one of the few prominent figures from the liberal wing of the Democratic Party to endorse Sanders. LIKE MOST candidates, Bernie Sanders wrote an autobiography in time for his presidential campaign. ![]() ![]() His mother’s girlfriend eventually forces him to help in an active case.
