Empire of Pain 2024 pdf epub mobi 电子书 图书描述

A grand, devastating portrait of three generations of the Sackler family, famed for their philanthropy, whose fortune was built by Valium and whose reputation was destroyed by OxyContin, by the prize-winning, bestselling author of Say Nothing

The Sackler name adorns the walls of many storied institutions—Harvard, 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, Raymond’s son Richard ran the family-owned Purdue. The template Arthur Sackler created to sell Valium—co-opting doctors, influencing the FDA, downplaying the drug’s addictiveness—was 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 d’Antibes 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. The history of the Sackler dynasty is rife with drama—baroque personal lives; bitter disputes over estates; fistfights in boardrooms; glittering art collections; Machiavellian courtroom maneuvers; and the calculated use of money to burnish reputations and crush the less powerful.

Empire of Pain is a masterpiece of narrative reporting and writing, exhaustively documented and ferociously compelling. It is a portrait of the excesses of America’s 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 world’s great fortunes.

只能说…庆幸自己不是在2000年得的关节炎吧…

bad blood之后,又一本让人倒抽一口凉气的非虚构作品。从Arthur开创了医药营销,到Richard将其发扬光大,再到David宣布破产搞了一出金蝉脱壳,Sackler家族可谓完成一出前无古人后无来者的美国梦。不论是FDA,CDC,还是各州ag到DOJ,全都拿sackler没办法,资本对政治的侵袭能到何种程度,可见一斑。

第一部分arthur发家史尤其精彩,可以说是page-turner。要是配一副family tree这种人物关系图就更友好了。文笔很好(有用无用的词汇和表达又增加了!比如sunset做动词,还有好笑的oxySacklers)。作者搜集并厘清那么多资料和访谈,一边还要对付sackler那边的律师,最后汇总为一本五百多页的书(有点太厚,说真心话)!后面两部分有点在看傲骨之战的感觉,果然作者本身也是法律专业出身(还娶了个律师老婆)。如同作者所言,这本书不会是有关这个家族和鸦片药物泛滥事件的最后一本书,还有很多未披露未公布的资料留待后来者分析。直到bring the whole truth to light.

评分

真的是很勇敢很难得的一本书,作者在写作的时候还在被人威胁。
