The Divide: American Injustice in the Age of the Wealth Gap by Matt Taibbi

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


Bankers steal billions of dollars, and the tax payer pays their fines for them. In the meantime, millions of poor people, mostly non-whites and sometimes completely innocent of the crimes they've been charged with, go to jail. America has more people in jail than any country in the world.

Matt Taibbi isn't much for statistics, but he can tell a good story. If you're not outraged and ashamed of your country before you read this book, something is definitely wrong with you if you are not by the time you finish it.

Taibbi doesn't spare either political party with his anger and accusations.
