Acknowledgments
I am extremely grateful to my wife, Pam, for the encouragement and support she has given me throughout my academic career. Her willingness to take on more than her fair share of parenting and household management responsibilities allowed me to make the contributions to teaching and scholarship that appear on my record.
I also wish to express my appreciation for the generous research support provided to me over the years by the Economics Department and by the Political Economy Research Institute at the University of Massachusetts Amherst campus and its co-directors, Jerry Epstein and Bob Pollin. Their support made it possible for me to work on this book while continuing to pursue my other research interests. I would like to thank Ilene Grable and Richard McIntyre for their thoughtful and detailed critical evaluation of a recent draft of the book. I am deeply indebted to my colleague and friend, Jerry Epstein, who made extensive and very helpful comments on every draft of every chapter of this book over a period of many years. Whatever its current shortcomings, the quality of this book has been substantially improved by Jerry's contributions. Thanks as well to Devika Dutt for research assistance and to Kim Weinstein for helping prepare the manuscript for publication.1
