With Liberty and Justice for Some

Autor Glenn Greenwald
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 31 iul 2012
The founding principle of the US was that the rule of law would be the great equalizer in American life. This book exposes an un-American justice system that incentivizes elite criminality, protects an oligarchical political culture, and sanctions immunity at the top and unyielding mercilessness for everyone else.

Recenzii

"The most important voice to have entered the political discourse in years."--Bill Moyers"Glenn Greenwald's latest book is an absolute must-read. Incredibly persuasive, rigorous and damning."--Christopher Hayes "Glenn Greenwald is not just the American Left's most fearless political commentator; his fearlessness is such that he has shifted the expectations for everyone else, too. His rock-ribbed principles and absolute disregard for partisan favor have made U.S. political discourse edgier, more confrontational, and much, much better."--Rachel Maddow"See this book? Then grab it. Read it. Shove it into everyone's face. This is the kind of text supporters of progress and justice urgently need. We need its honesty and clarity; its focus on what matters; and its expertise... We also need its courage, for it tells us what many suspect, but few dare to shout out."--"PopMatters" "Greenwald lets no one off the hook in demonstrating the vast differences in legal recourse between rich and poor, powerful and weak... When the executive, judicial and legislative branches collude to avoid enforcement, lawlessness is the end result."--"Kirkus Reviews""The first thing I do when I turn on the computer in the morning is go to Glenn Greenwald's blog to see what he said. He is truly one of our greatest writers right now."--Michael Moore

Descriere

Greenwald offers a scathing critique of the two-tiered system of justice that has emerged in America. The law was to be the great equalizer in American life. Instead, a two-tiered system of justice ensures that the country's political and financial class is virtually immune from prosecution, licensed to act without restraint, while the politically powerless are imprisoned with greater ease and in greater numbers than in any other country in the world.
