Dopesick

Dopesick: dealers, doctors, and the drug company that addicted America / Beth Macy, read by the author, 325 pgs.

Oh boy, this is such an amazing book but also so depressing.  Macy has done extensive research on the over twenty year history of the addiction crisis that is ongoing.  She examines the role of big pharma, the FDA, doctors and dealers have had in the devastation of entire communities.  She looks at the economic impact and the personal toll addiction takes by revealing extensive research and personal stories.  Not uplifting but if you want to understand the scope and depth of this problem, read this book.
