 www.kpfa.org/events    KPFA benefit   \n\nFrom the award-winning 
 investigative journalist and bestselling author of The Great Derangement 
 and Griftopia comes another devastating portrait of American values in our 
 polarized age, a galvanizing exploration of how our growing wealth gap is 
 not just warping our economy, but transforming the meaning of rights, 
 justice, and basic citizenship. Rolling Stone's Matt Taibbi has become one 
 of the most essential and widely read journalists in America.  Ezra Klein 
 in The Washington Post called his work an "almost startling reminder of the 
 power of good writing." \n\nTHE DIVIDE: American Injustice in the Age of 
 the Wealth Gap is a probing investigation of one of the most pressing 
 issues facing us today: the increasing wealth gap and how it is affecting 
 our system of justice. "The Divide," reveals our two most troubling trends 
 - enormous wealth inequality on one hand and an increasingly punitive, 
 intrusive state on the other, resulting in our basic rights now being 
 determined by our wealth or poverty. The Divide is what allows massively 
 destructive fraud by the hyperwealthy to go unpunished, while turning 
 poverty itself into a crime.\n\nMatt Taibbi, until very recently a 
 contributing editor at Rolling Stone, won a National Magazine Award for his 
 reporting on the 2008 presidential election, and was a finalist for his 
 coverage of Occupy Wall Street. The author of two New York Times 
 bestsellers, Taibbi has just joined Pierre's Omidyar's group of original, 
 independent journalists (along with Glen Greenwald and Jeremy Scahill) - 
 and is now assembling topnotch talent  for First Look's second digital 
 magazine.\n\nDonald Goldmacher, Producer/Director of Heist: Who Stole the 
 American Dream?,  is a longtime filmmaker, labor activist, and community 
 psychiatrist with decades of experience.\n
