False Profits

Acknowledgments

I wrote this book as a response to the pervasive efforts to rewrite the facts and history surrounding the worst economic downturn in 70 years. I appreciate the support of PoliPointPress, and in particular Peter Richardson and Scott Jordon. The work has benefited from considerable feedback from my friends and colleagues, including Eileen Appelbaum, Alan Barber, Heather Boushey, Helene Jorgensen, Danilo Pelletiere, Hye Jin Rho, David Rosnick, John Schmitt, Mark Weisbrot, and Nicole Woo. I also owe thanks to the never-ending patience of Helene, Kiwi, and Walnut.
