Acknowledgments

In writing this book I am indebted to many people and institutions, whether directly or indirectly.

At Wiley, I would like to express my gratitude to the many people who helped make the book possible, and in particular to Nick Wallwork, Jules Yap, Emilie Herman, Lia Ottaviano, Jeremy Chia, Gladys Ganaden, Chris Gage, and Tami Trask for their constant encouragement, kind help, and earnest support throughout the process.

At the Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy, National University of Singapore, I am grateful to the wonderful faculty, staff and fellow students, particularly my friends from the master in public management program, whose friendships are very much treasured.

I am deeply indebted to the Bank of Thailand for giving me a chance to work in many interesting jobs, tap into its vast institutional knowledge pool, and learn from my many extremely dedicated and capable friends, supervisors, and colleagues.

I am very much grateful to Charles Adams, Robert J. Dixon, Charles Goodhart, Kishore Mahbubani, Paul A. Volcker, and Christopher Worswick for kindly giving their invaluable time to review the manuscript. Any error that might appear in the book is, of course, mine.

I would like to also thank my parents, Thamrongsak and Lugsana Moenjak, whose love, support, and dedication throughout the years made this book possible.
