lives of literally billions of poor peopleâhere and around the world.
These are the reasons I believe free enterprise is the only moral choice for America.
ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
MANY PEOPLE made this book a reality, and Iâm grateful to a lot of people for their help. To begin with, my executive assistant Michael Threadgould kept me organized and on track throughout the project. And the book would have been impossible without excellent research assistance from Chad Hill and Lori Sanders.
While all errors are my own, expertise and generous advice on this project came from AEIâs great scholars and staff, including Joe Antos, Rachel Ayerst Manfredi, Jason Bertsch, Andrew Biggs, Karlyn Bowman, Alex Brill, Josh Burek, Kayla Cook, Robin Currie, John Cusey, David Gerson, Ken Green, Kevin Hassett, Steven Hayward, David Holtkamp, John Makin, Matthew McKillip, Thomas Miller, Sophie Oreck, Veronika Polakova, Daniel Rothschild, Toby Stock, and Alan Viard. Special thanks go to Charles Murray and Nick Eberstadt, AEI scholars whose work has deeply influenced mine and who carefully read drafts of this book. Likewise, AEI trustees Tully Friedman and Frank Hanna gave me invaluable advice all along the way.
Beyond AEI, I would like to express gratitude to a number of key individuals who gave me suggestions or material for this book. In particular, I would like to thank Christopher Chandler, BernieMarcus, Chuck Schwab, John Mackey, Mark Stoleson, Alan McCormick, Kevin Lewis, Ed Crane, Pete Wehner, and Jon Haidt, as well as my friends at AEIâs sister organizations and in the media who provided important feedback on early versions of the manuscript.
I would like to thank my editor Lara Heimert at Basic Books, and my literary agent, Lisa Adams, at the Garamond Agency. Several of the key ideas here were developed in articles published on the editorial pages of the Wall Street Journal and the Washington Post , for which I am grateful to Paul Gigot, Howard Dickman, Rob Pollock, and Carlos Lozada.
I am humbled by the trust and support of the outstanding membersâpast and presentâof AEIâs Board of Trustees and National Council. For support on this project, all of us at AEI would especially like to thank the Anschutz Foundation, the Douglas and Maria DeVos Foundation, the Kern Family Foundation, the Charles Koch Foundation, Legatum, the Marcus Foundation, Jack and Pina Templeton, and the Triad Foundation.
As always, I am particularly indebted to my intellectual partner (and wife), Ester Munt-Brooks, whoâas an American by choice instead of by birthâconstantly reminded me why our free enterprise system is a moral one at its core. And thanks to our three children Joaquim, Carlos, and Marina, who endured being told many times to leave Dad alone because he is working on his book.
All royalties from this book go to support the work of the American Enterprise Institute.
