Acknowledgments

Many people helped us during the process of researching and writing this book. It would be difficult to keep track of them all. Therefore, to all that we have forgotten to list, please don’t hold it against us!

We thank Dr. Patrick Barron, professor at the Graduate School of Banking at the University of Wisconsin, Madison, and of Austrian economics at the University of Iowa, in Iowa City, for the insights his work provides on the issue. We would also like to thank Mr. Bo-Young Lin, from the Graduate Institute of International and Development Studies and the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) for his support and insights.
