The Sackler name has adorned the walls of many storied institutionsHarvard, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Oxford, the Louvre. They are one of the richest families in the world, known for their lavish donations to the arts and the sciences. The source of the family fortune was vague, however, until it emerged that the Sacklers were responsible for making and marketing a blockbuster painkiller that was the catalyst for the opioid crisis.Empire of Pain begins with the story of three doctor brothers, Raymond, Mortimer and the incalculably energetic Arthur, who weathered the poverty of the Great Depression and appalling anti-Semitism. Working at a barbaric mental institution, Arthur saw a better way and conducted groundbreaking research into drug treatments. He also had a genius for marketing, especially for pharmaceuticals, and bought a small ad firm.Arthur devised the marketing for Valium, and built the first great Sackler fortune. He purchased a drug manufacturer, Purdue Frederick, which would be run by Raymond and Mortimer. The brothers began collecting art, and wives, and grand residences in exotic locales. Their children and grandchildren grew up in luxury.Forty years later, Raymonds son Richard ran the family-owned Purdue. The template Arthur Sackler created to sell Valiumco-opting doctors, influencing the FDA, downplaying the drugs addictivenesswas employed to launch a far more potent product: OxyContin. The drug went on to generate some thirty-five billion dollars in revenue, and to launch a public health crisis in which hundreds of thousands would die.This is the saga of three generations of a single family and the mark they would leave on the world, a tale that moves from the bustling streets of early twentieth-century Brooklyn to the seaside palaces of Greenwich, Connecticut, and Cap dAntibes to the corridors of power in Washington, D.C. Empire of Pain chronicles the multiple investigations of the Sacklers and their company, and the scorched-earth legal tactics that the family has used to evade accountability. Empire of Pain is a masterpiece of narrative reporting and writing, exhaustively documented and ferociously compelling. It is a portrait of the excesses of Americas second Gilded Age, a study of impunity among the super elite and a relentless investigation of the naked greed and indifference to human suffering that built one of the worlds great fortunes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"padding: 0 20px 0 20px; border: thin solid #000000;\"\u003e\u003cp style=\"font-size: smaller;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eBindning:\u003c\/b\u003e Pocket. 8:o (132x202 mm) \u003cb\u003eÅr:\u003c\/b\u003e 2022. \u003cb\u003eOmfång:\u003c\/b\u003e s. \u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781984899019. \u003cb\u003eSpråk:\u003c\/b\u003e Engelska\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eHitta fler liknande böcker i dessa kategorier:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbutton class=\"product-form__submit button button--secondary\" onclick=\"window.location.href='https:\/\/bok.hstrom.se\/pages\/manniskor-bygd'\"\u003eMänniskor \u0026amp; bygd\u003c\/button\u003e \u003cbutton class=\"product-form__submit button button--secondary\" onclick=\"window.location.href='https:\/\/bok.hstrom.se\/collections\/manniskor-bygd-biografier-memoarer'\"\u003eBiografier \u0026amp; memoarer\u003c\/button\u003e \u003cbutton class=\"product-form__submit button button--full-width \" onclick=\"window.location.href='\/search?q=title:Radden%2BKeefe%2BPatrick%2BEmpire%2Bof%2BPain'\"\u003eSök fler exemplar av denna bok\u003c\/button\u003e\u003cbutton class=\"product-form__submit button button--full-width \" onclick=\"window.location.href='\/search?q=title:Patrick%2BRadden%2BKeefe'\"\u003eFler böcker av Patrick Radden Keefe\u003c\/button\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"padding: 0 20px 0 20px; border: thin solid #000000;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size: smaller; font-weight:bold;\"\u003eAnvänd gärna länkarna nedan för att hitta liknande böcker.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size: smaller;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eFörfattare:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/search?q=title:Radden+Keefe+Patrick\"\u003eRadden Keefe, Patrick\u003c\/a\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTitel:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/search?q=title:Empire+of+Pain\"\u003eEmpire of Pain\u003c\/a\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFörlag:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/search?q=vendor:Random+House+US\"\u003eRandom House US\u003c\/a\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eGenre:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/search?q=Memoarer+och+biografier\"\u003eMemoarer och biografier\u003c\/a\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eArtikelnr:\u003c\/b\u003e 193117233\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Random House US","offers":[{"title":"Förlagsny bok \/ Pocket","offer_id":44820389724427,"sku":"193117233","price":218.0,"currency_code":"SEK","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0651\/8856\/1163\/files\/no_image_f4bce9b3-5434-4e78-bd79-e6436fb8ff9b.jpg?v=1708989033","url":"https:\/\/bok.hstrom.se\/products\/193117233","provider":"bok.hstrom.se | Antikvariat \u0026 Bokhandel","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
