A business that profits from treating ills can create far deadlier problems than it cures. Addictive products are part of the industry’s DNA, from the days when corner drugstores sold morphine, heroin, and cocaine, to the past two decades of dangerously overprescribed opioids.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003ePharma\u003c\/i\u003e also uncovers the real story of the Sacklers, the family that became one of America’s wealthiest from the success of OxyContin, their blockbuster narcotic painkiller at the centre of the opioid crisis. Relying on thousands of pages of government and corporate archives, dozens of hours of interviews with insiders, and previously classified FBI files, Posner exposes the secrets of the Sacklers’ rise to power—revelations that have long been buried under a byzantine web of interlocking companies with ever-changing names and hidden owners. The unexpected twists and turns of the Sackler family saga are told against the startling chronicle of a powerful industry that sits at the intersection of public health and profits.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e“Explosively, even addictively, readable” (\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e, starred review), \u003ci\u003ePharma\u003c\/i\u003e reveals how and why American drug companies have put earnings ahead of patients.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Arotahi Agency","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46722437021932,"sku":"9781501152030","price":61.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/12799923482722.jpg?v=1754642752"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/gerald-posner.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
