Empire of Pain: The Secret History of the Sackler Dynasty

byPatrick Radden Keefe

Focused on the Secret History of the Sackler Dynasty, Empire of Pain brings Patrick Radden Keefe's historical account to a complex and consequential subject. By tracing causes alongside consequences, the narrative gives readers both a grounded account and a route into the connected fields of business & economics and history. The result avoids a single easy lesson, emphasizing instead how circumstances, institutions, and individual choices interacted over time. Readers finish with a sharper understanding of the subject and why its consequences still deserve attention.
