Summary of Empire of Pain
In Empire of Pain (2021), Patrick Radden Keefe narrates how the Sackler family, over three generations, grew from immigrant newcomers to wealthy philanthropists and ultimately the people behind a drug that ended up killing thousands of Americans.
Originally based on good intentions, the Sacklers developed OxyContin, a revolutionary painkiller that was meant to help people live happier pain-free lives. But what started as a noble project quickly was overtaken by greed and political corruption, making OxyContin the cause of one of the largest opioid epidemics in the US.
Patrick Radden Keefe's assortment of work doesn't appear, from the start, the most open. An analytical columnist by profession, he investigates numerous habits of defilement, and his last book, 2019's SayNothing, had a lift pitch that sounded anything other than standard. It dove into The Inconveniences in Ireland, using a long-time past disappearance of a 38-year-old mother of 10 to detail the human impact of that quite certain time in I.R.A. history. It additionally turned into a New York Times blockbuster — and was perhaps the best book of the year.
Empire is partitioned into three sections: Patriarch, which narrates the life and vocation of Arthur Sackler, who assembled the family's riches and dispatched their foray to drugs in any case; Dynasty, which bargains for the most part in the development of OxyContin (which outgrew the pain cure MS Contin); and Legacy, which underlines the beginning of the family's destruction, as well as, drives home Keefe's representation of exactly how reckless, cash-hungry, and scheming the Sacklers were in their push to rule the painkiller market.
