Big Dirty Money: The Shocking Injustice and Unseen Cost of White Collar Crime by Jennifer Taub
5.0
Go get this book ASAP. I can’t remember how I stumbled across it, but I’m super glad it was recommended. Jennifer Taub did a fantastic job breaking down how the wealthy live by a different set of rules than the rest of us. I don’t understand how anyone could read this book and think we live in a fair, equal, and meritocratic society. Our prisons are filled with people who have done far less than the white-collar criminals Taub describes in this book. Each chapter has stories of rich people who got away with major crimes.
It’ll make you mad, but you should read this. The United States is not the country we’re told it is. If you have money, you live in a completely different world than the middle and lower classes. We should all take issue with the prison industrial complex and how peoples’ lives are ruined for something as stupid as drug posession while there are multimillionaires who are destroying lives, and in the case of Big Pharma, actually killing people.
Get this book and buy some copies for your friends.
