The Divide: American Injustice in the Age of the Wealth Gap by Matt Taibbi examines how rising poverty in America and fraud by the wealthy contribute to a growing wealth gap, exposing a justice system that harshly penalizes the poor while allowing the affluent to escape unscathed. Through individual stories and an analysis of events like the 2008 financial crisis, Taibbi reveals the depth of systemic inequality and the urgent need to address this "Divide" before it widens further.
