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

5.0

Shining example of capitalism and greed ruining not only a family but also thousands of lives. The Sacklers are blinded by their desires for money and lifting up the family name through philanthropy.
The author’s story in writing the book, his experience of being bullied and intimidated by Sackler lawyers, and his humility to recognize that more will be written by others, makes even the postscript worth reading.
