这本书的出现，缘起于普林斯顿大学出版社的彼得·多尔蒂（Peter Dougherty），他热情地邀请我在2011年的智库政策交流中做一次演讲，并建议我将该内容进行扩充，我对此感激不尽。我要感谢下面这些人对本书的草稿提出了建议和意见，他们是：西蒙·布里斯科（Simon Briscoe）、温迪·卡林（Wendy Carlin）、布雷特·克里斯托弗、托尼·克莱顿（Tony Clayton）、鲍勃·哈恩（Bob Hahn）、安德鲁·霍尔丹（Andrew Haldane）、乔纳森·哈斯克尔（Jonathan Haskel）、哈罗德·詹姆斯（Harold James）、安德鲁·凯利（Andrew Kelly）、斯蒂芬·金（Stephen King）、罗布·梅特卡夫（Rob Metcalfe）、彼得·辛克莱（Peter Sinclair）、保拉·苏巴基（Paola Subacchi）和罗米希·韦提林根（Romesh Vaitilingam）。我也受惠于2013年2月参加过我在东英吉利亚大学讲座的那些师生们的评论，以及2012年6月的列格坦研究所圆桌会议与会者的评论。

像以往一样，我要隆重感谢我的代理人莎拉·曼格克（Sara Menguc），也要隆重感谢长期容忍我的家人：罗里（Rory）、亚当（Adam）和鲁弗斯（Rufus）。同时，还要感谢名叫Cabbage的狗，它虽然没有对GDP作出过贡献，但它极大地增进了我的幸福感。
