Acknowledgments

When you write a book, you’re “dependent on the kindness of strangers”—or people who know you and don’t mind lending a hand.

I couldn’t have written this book without the input of the following people, in alphabetical order: Ginna Green, Keith Gumbinger, Bill Karbon, Judy Kennedy, Fred Reish, Massie Rich, Luke Swarthout, and James Turpin. Thanks to Mark Zandi from Moody’s Economy.com for access to his great research. And last, but definitely not least, thanks to Jim Boyd for being a great editor.
