Empire of Pain: The Secret History of the Sackler Dynasty by Patrick Radden Keefe

informative slow-paced

4.0

The book was really dry but at the same time very informative and well structured. What it lacked in my opinion was a longer piece about the drug, I finished the book not knowing whether there are any legit uses for OxyContin or safe ways to use it. Advocating for people suffering chronic pain was only used as Sackler's excuse and not explored further.
