ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK
“Empire of Pain” by Patrick Radden Keefe explores the rise of the Sackler family, whose wealth was built through Purdue Pharma’s promotion of OxyContin, a prescription opioid that fueled the opioid epidemic in the United States. The book delves into the family’s complex legacy, blending their philanthropic efforts in the arts and medicine with their role in the devastating public health crisis. Through detailed investigation, Keefe examines the moral and ethical dilemmas of corporate greed, the consequences of aggressive marketing practices, and the broader implications for the pharmaceutical industry and healthcare policies. The story reveals the intersection of power, profit, and public harm.
