review 1: An honest look at how 'To Big To Fail' became 'To Big To Jail'. The rich bankers can demolish the world economy & pad their own pockets, while we fill our jails with poor people for lesser crimes & assume every single mom is trying to game the system. This book reveals that the real criminals & welfare queens are still running free on Wall Street. Read this book, even though it will likely piss you off.
review 2: Anyone who has paid attention shouldn't be too surprised by much in this book, though that doesn't make any of it less infuriating. We have a two-tiered system of justice in which poor people are routinely and increasingly treated harshly for minor and often accidental crimes, while the wealthy and well connected perpetrate fraud on a massive level... more, screwing over basically everyone and facing no consequences. Taibbi did a great job in selecting the stories he tells to illustrate his point and a lot of the things contained within are truly shocking even though the overall message is apparent to anyone who cares to look. less
