Acknowledgements

My great thanks and undying appreciation to Julie Newing for her indefatigable work in digging up background research, making suggestions and fact-checking for this text.

To Stuart Martin for all his design support.

To Ruth, and all my colleagues at Editions Financial, for making coming to work so much fun. And also our clients for allowing us to get away with it for so long.

To my family and siblings, who got me over a fear of public ridicule by strapping me to a gatepost with a ‘Do not feed the animal’ sign.

Elie, Rachael, Sarah, Paul and the team at Pearson, for making the publishing process such a joy.

And to Scarlett and Felix for inspiring me, but no, you can’t have a dog.
