"The Divide" is a non-fiction book by journalist Matt Taibbi, first published in 2014. The book explores the growing wealth gap and inequality in the United States, particularly in the justice system. Taibbi argues that the justice system is divided into two separate and unequal systems: one for the wealthy and powerful, and one for everyone else. He examines how the wealthy can use their resources to avoid consequences for their actions, while poor and marginalized individuals face harsh punishments for minor offenses. Taibbi discusses various examples, such as the financial crisis, the Occupy Wall Street movement, and the police brutality against minorities. He also discusses the role of the media in perpetuating these inequalities. The book is a scathing critique of the American justice system and the growing gap between the rich and poor. It has been praised for its in-depth reporting and analysis of a complex issue.
