Acknowledgments

I am most grateful to my colleagues at the Institute for Policy Studies and our Program on Inequality and Inequality.org team – especially Sarah Anderson, John Cavanagh, Josh Hoxie, Bob Lord, Anny Martinez, Jessicah Pierre, Sam Pizzigati, and Basav Sen.

Throughout this book are citations from and attributions to a wide community of scholars, researchers, analysts, agitators, and organizers. My gratitude is expressed, in part, through these footnotes. A special thanks to Brooke Harrington for her work on hidden wealth. S.M. “Mike” Miller has been an important mentor over the years.

Many thanks to the team at Polity, especially George Owers. Thanks also to readers, including Colin Gordon.

This book is dedicated to all those who work each day for an equitable and just society.
