Acknowledgments
The book began to take shape one day in 2017, when I received an email from a Jay Grenda offering “free assistance with research.” He said that he was a singer, an economics major, and had worked as an editor of a newsletter at a non-profit. I was intrigued. I had been writing a bunch of notes on industrial organization since 2010, and I wanted to see if they could hang together and turn into a book or something like that. So I asked Jay to give it a shot. He went to work right away. Two months later, as I looked at what he had done, I realized that I had struck gold. In the meanwhile, Jay had gone to graduate school. Ever since Jay, I have been asking students for comments on drafts. Toward the end of a class, I would say to them: “[T]ell me the good, the bad, the ugly of what you have read.” Now I have a big folder of their comments. I also asked them to suggest titles for the book. Heart-Attack Economics won strong support. I reluctantly passed it over because a couple of friends, upon hearing it, thought I was writing a book in medicine. To my students I say from the bottom of my heart: Thank you!!! In no particular order, they are Asma Alhazmi; John Breen, Sa-ad Iddrisu; Min- Jeong Kwon; Walt Ryley, Dibin Joy; Juan Fe
