Program Director Janet Pau as well as the Council’s Princeton in Asia Fel-
lows Kaishi Lee, Kari Wilhelm, Tom London, Matt Garland, Ryan Brooks,
and Jack Maher all provided research help. I also want to thank others on
the Council’s staff: Administrative Director Winnie Wu as well as Bonnie
Chang, Alex Zhang, Jennifer Wei, Philip Hui, and Moneta Chon. In Whis-
tler, Scott and Helen Carrell kept me fed, fit and happy while I wrote in the
mountains. Finally, thanks to our children, Anya and Ted, and, above all, my
wife, Melissa Brown, whose knowledge of many of the issues discussed in
this book is exceeded only by her patience in enduring an even more fraught
book-writing process than usual is more than I could have asked for.
A final note: Some of those quoted in the book are members of the
Asia Business Council; many are not. This book was written independently
and the opinions are mine. So too are any errors, whether of commission
or omission. I hope that this work will stimulate debate, inspire confidence
that there is a way forward, and lead to faster action to solve one of the
defining challenges of our age.
