"Matt Taibbi's genius is in untangling complex stories and making us care about them by providing striking moral clarity and a genuine sense of outrage. He has become among the most read journalists in America, leading the dialogue with epic Rolling Stone pieces that offer an "almost startling reminder of the power of good writing" (Washington Post). In this new work, he once again takes readers into the biggest, most urgent story in America: a widening wealth gap that is not only reshaping our economic life, but changing our core sense of right and wrong. The wealthy 1% operate with near impunity, while everyone else finds their very existence the subject of massive law enforcement attention: from stop-and-frisk programs and the immigrant dragnet to invasive surveillance and the abuse of debtors. Driven by immersive reporting, this is a stunning look into the newest high-stakes divide in our country: between a lawless aristocracy of hyperwealth and the rest of us, living under the shadow of an incipient American police state"-- Provided by publisher.

评分the apartheid created by a prejudicial justice system: the white-collar crimes are never criminally prosecuted ( because of "collateral consequence") whilst the poor are enjailed for the most insignificant misconducts..informative but not particularly well-written...a lot of use of cursing and goes a bit too far when portraying the villains
评分3 The Divide：American Injustice in the Age of the Wealth Gap by Matt Taibbi Audiobook 02/18/2015 点评：第一次读Matt Taibbi的书，作为去年NY Times最佳Nonfiction书籍，这本书非常详尽地展现了美国现行司法系统对于日益猖獗的Wall Street White Collar Crime的不作为，同时又详细表述了对于底层民众的隐形歧视以及暴力执法所导致的一系列社会问题，有些事实让人简直无法置信，但是很不幸这就是发生在底层民众的事实，严重的官僚化以及暴力执法导致了对民众权益的侵犯，作者行文相当流畅，有力地揭示了这些令人心碎的事实，相当值得推荐的一本书，5星
