But when you think about trying to meet new people, it feels terrifying. Like, have you looked at Tinder recently? It's rough out there! \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Your tough-love new best friend, award-winning journalist, policy attorney, and life-long socialist Malaika Jabali is here to say: we are all in a generations-long toxic relationship with Capitalism, and it is time to get the h*ll out of there and move ALONG. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e She gives you everything you need to know about what a healthy relationship could actually look like, issue by issue--from healthcare and housing to the whole concept of American democracy--with our new boo: Socialism. And no, Socialism isn't the boring, grey, authoritarian, Cold-War-era monster that you've heard about. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e With accessible explanations and illustrations, often surprising graphs and stats, and some Drake memes, this book will show you that we NEED to build a world that's safer, kinder, cleaner, healthier, and more equal. And that this isn't a utopian dream - it's within our grasp, if we collectively decide to call out Capitalism for what it really is and wake up to a better future.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMalaika Jabali\u003c\/b\u003e is the Senior News and Politics Editor at \u003ci\u003eEssence\u003c\/i\u003e Magazine.
