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.
