The divide : American injustice in the age of the wealth gap

Summary: In his latest work, the author takes readers into the story of America's widening wealth gap, that is not only reshaping our economic life, but changing our core sense of right and wrong. He explains how 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.
