The Justice Divide, the Latest Movies & the Final Member
Matt Taibbi discusses his new book 'The Divide,' Piketty's economics tome makes it big, and we take a look at this week's movies, including 'The Final Member.'
In his new book, The Divide, Matt Taibbi looks at the unequal treatment meted out to rich and poor in the American justice system. And a new economics tome about global wealth inequality, Capital in the Twenty-First Century, has become a surprise bestseller. In our weekly movie segment, we preview Brick Mansions, one of Paul Walker’s last films; Blue Ruin, an indie thriller that went over big at Cannes; and other new releases. And The Final Member is a movie about the world’s only penis museum in a small town in Iceland, and its curator’s efforts to add the final member to his collection: a human penis.
