ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
This book would not be possible without the ideas and writings of many thinkers and storytellers. The most influential to this book being David Harvey (Seventeen Contradictions and the End of Capitalism), the Semiotext(e) Intervention Series (which Glenn Beck once described as "evil"), notably Christian Marazzi (The Violence of Financial Capitalism) and Maurizio Lazzarato (Governing by Debt and The Making of the Indebted Man), among other academic giants of the past and present, like Karl Polanyi, Joseph Schumpeter, Dr. Nicholas Shaw, David Graeber, and the grandfather of capitalist critique, Karl Marx. Please follow along or reference the "Notes" section in the back of the book to see how these concepts were woven into the story and dialogue. Oh – and the book wouldn't be possible without Christmas, Santa Claus, Elves or the North Pole. So, thank you Jesus!
