I have benefited from many people in writing this book.
Having played such a pivotal role in bringing about my
previous book, Bad Samaritans, which focused on the
developing world, Ivan Mulcahy, my literary agent, gave me
constant encouragement to write another book with a
broader appeal. Peter Ginna, my editor at Bloomsbury USA,
not only provided valuable editorial feedback but also played
a crucial role in setting the tone of the book by coming up
with the title, 23 Things They Don’t Tell You about
Capitalism, while I was conceptualizing the book. William
Goodlad, my editor at Allen Lane, took the lead in the
editorial work and did a superb job in getting everything just
right.
