Empire of Pain: The Secret History of the Sackler Dynasty by Patrick Radden Keefe
5.0
"It is a peculiar hallmark of the American economy that you can produce a dangerous product and effectively off-load any legal liability for whatever destruction that product may cause by pointing to the individual responsibility of the consumer."
Empire of Pain was SUCH a good read - fascinating, harrowing and infuriating.
It's packed with so much information, meticulously researched and incredibly detailed, and takes us through the history of the Sackler family and Purdue Pharma and their role in creating and marketing OxyContin, and the family's central role in the opioid epidemic.
