Integrity and Agreement: Economics When Principles Also Matter

Acknowledgments

Acknowledgments My great teachers have included Kostas Scoulas, Jerry Sanders, Moshe Adler, Christopher Titmus, José Reissig, and Sharda Rogell. I’m grateful to each for teaching me to challenge my current views as a way of coming closer to truth. In writing this book, I have bene‹ted from the skilled readings and advice of many people. I’m grateful to Donald Baxter, James Boudreau, John Davis, Dhammika Dharmapala, Margaret Gilbert, Shareen Hertel, Vicki Knoblauch, John Rickards, Jonathan Wight, Richard Ashby Wilson, and a number of anonymous reviewers. Even when I did not include their comments, each undoubtedly improved the clarity of ideas in this volume. I am indebted to Metin Cosgel and Thomas Miceli, my coauthors on previously published articles about integrity. I am grateful for their willingness to work on the topic, and their skillful contributions that enhanced this project. I also thank Metin and Tom for providing helpful comments on different chapters. Timur Kuran, the series editor, did a remarkable job editing this book. He painstakingly read and provided detailed comments on a couple different drafts. The wise advice derived from his careful scrutiny clearly improved the quality of this book, sometimes in spite of my own resistances. Finally, I am most grateful to my wife, Fé Delos-Santos. Not only did she eagerly participate in many lively debates about the ideas in this book, she also expertly edited many chapter drafts, as well as an early version of the whole thing. Because she is a lover of great literature and great writing, I want to publicly acknowledge her torment. ...
