Acknowledgments

I first want to thank David Ramsay Steele at Open Court for coming up with the idea of this book in the first place. I also want to thank all the contributors for putting the time and effort into this project. It is their hard work and ideas that make this book what it is. I merely put the pieces together.

Thank you to The Atlas Society for hosting several Online Research Workshops for some of the chapters included in this volume.

Thank you to the Center for Ethics and Entrepreneurship for its support of my work on this volume.

I also want to thank the crew at the Perryville Starbucks in Rockford, Illinois, for always keeping me amply supplied with espressos.

Lastly, and most importantly, I want to thank my wife, Kristen Klein, for always encouraging and supporting me.
