"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.

評分3 The Divide:American Injustice in the Age of the Wealth Gap by Matt Taibbi Audiobook 02/18/2015 點評:第一次讀Matt Taibbi的書,作為去年NY Times最佳Nonfiction書籍,這本書非常詳盡地展現瞭美國現行司法係統對於日益猖獗的Wall Street White Collar Crime的不作為,同時又詳細錶述瞭對於底層民眾的隱形歧視以及暴力執法所導緻的一係列社會問題,有些事實讓人簡直無法置信,但是很不幸這就是發生在底層民眾的事實,嚴重的官僚化以及暴力執法導緻瞭對民眾權益的侵犯,作者行文相當流暢,有力地揭示瞭這些令人心碎的事實,相當值得推薦的一本書,5星
