Acknowledgements
The central allegorical model of this book is borrowed from How an Economy Grows and Why It Doesn't, published in 1985, by Irwin A. Schiff, who generously bequeathed the idea to his offspring.
The authors also wish to thank the contributions of Brendan Leach who was able to illustrate quickly and creatively and give visual dimension to our sense of humor; and the staff at John Wiley & Sons, particularly Kelly O'Connor, whose help was vital in putting this material together in a coherent and entertaining package. We also would like to thank Mike Finger at Euro Pacific Capital who provided much philosophical and aesthetic feedback. Lastly we should thank all of those who have supported Irwin over the years with their thoughts and letters. It means a lot to him.
