#BookSky 📚#AmReading #EmpireOfPain about the Sackler family. It has the backstory of the building of the family business, involvement in marketing and benzodiazepine addiction prior to the opioid epidemic. It is a slow read, but is definitely refining my perspective.

Patrick Radden Keefe has done it again in his newest book - gone deeeeep into a contemporary subject, finding different dots and connecting them in a way that has the reader hooked from the very first page to the last. #londonfalling #empireofpain

In "Empire of Pain", Patrick Radden Keefe tells the story of the Sackler family. It's a must-read for anyone impacted by the opioid-crisis, studying pain research, or funded by NIH HEAL grants.

Finished this

With fists clenched

A tight jaw

And tensed shoulders

Boiling over with rage

Reading #EmpireOfPain now. Another example of corporate greed without personal or social responsibility.

Very interesting article, especially if you’ve read #EmpireOfPain by Patrick Radden Keefe, or enjoy Barbara Kingsolver (especially #DemonCopperhead)

Lecture estivale: «Empire of Pain» raconte comment la famille Sackler a déclenché la crise des opioïdes avec l’OxyContin… avant de s’acheter du prestige en finançant musées et universités. Des milliers de morts, une fortune intacte, des ailes de musée à leur nom.
