The Problem of Pain | Dissent Magazine

White Market Drugs: Big Pharma and the Hidden History of Addiction in America by David Herzberg University of Chicago Press, 2020, 400 pp. Reams have been written about the misdeeds of Purdue Pharma, the manufacturer of OxyContin, and Purdueâs majority owners, the Sackler family. After years of litigation prompted by spiking overdose rates, in November 2020 Purdue pleaded guilty to conspiracy to aid and abet doctors in dispensing OxyContin without a legitimate medical purpose. The company was ordered to pay $8.3 billion in penalties, damage, and forfeiture. This sum is less impressive than it looked in headlines: Purdueâs bankruptcy in 2019 means that the money is unlikely to be collected. Though they were branded as villains in the eyes of the public, the Sacklers escaped criminal charges and had to pay only $225 million of their family moneyâsmall potatoes for a family that took some $10 billion out of Purdue between 2007 and 2017.

Lord Acton: Libertarian Hero - LewRockwell

Lord Acton: Libertarian Hero [Originally published April 4, 2006, at LewRockwell.com] “You would spare these criminals, for some mysterious reason. I would hang them higher than Haman, for reasons of quite obvious justice; still more, still higher, for the sake of historical science.”1 Thus ends a long passage of a letter from John Emerich Edward Dalberg Acton, First Lord Acton (1834–1902) in which appears his famous aphorism regarding power’s tendency to corrupt its possessor. In a few words to a fellow historian, who regarded his critic as the “most learned Englishman now alive,” his vast historical knowledge, passion for justice, and love for his Church are fused and brought to a fine point.2
