My Thanks
Those who publish books on their experience in public life have often a rather delicate task to perform. That is to offer their thanks in a suitably subtle way to the individual who actually wrote the book, while somehow minimizing this considerable delegation. Happily, I am free from such an obligation; somewhat exceptionally, I do the writing. However, my need to acknowledge my debts is not any the less.
Over the years the matters here described have been extensively discussed with Harvard and Washington colleagues and other friends over the United States and in Britain, Japan and variously in Europe. What is here pictured as my own thinking is to a marked degree what has been developed in thought and refreshed in memory by many, many others.
More specifically, I have had the help in these last months and years of my son Professor James Galbraith of the University of Texas and of his superior data banks and computer skills. To Jamie my great thanks.
My thanks also to Edith Tucker, who, as so often before, has closed up the more than occasional gaps between my recollection and historical accuracy. And to Joy Sobeck, who helped decipher my script and, more importantly, handled and frequently resisted the competing claims on my time.
But, most of all, there is my debt to Andrea Williams. For three decades and more, she has been my indispensable friend and ally.

No writer ever had a more intelligent, diligent, informed and unrelenting editor. I shudder to think what would have escaped into print had she not been here.
As so often and so reliably over the last forty-two years, since I first came under their management as an author, my thanks go also to Houghton Mifflin and therein to Nader Darehshori, Joe Kanon and Mindy Keskinen, who, of all publishers, must be the most forgiving, tolerant and understanding of their authors and certainly of me.
While working on this book, I have had as always the unvarying support of Catherine Atwater Galbraith. When I turn to my writing, it is of her I think. From that come the commitment and the diligence which all authors must have. To Kitty my thanks and, most of all, my enduring love.
