Acknowledgments

For a long time, writing books has been one way for me to fight for the people I believe in, and my daughter, Amelia Warren Tyagi, has been an extraordinary ally. After coauthoring
The Two-Income Trap
and
All Your Worth
, she was ready once again to jump into another book with me, this time helping me with the research and keeping the entire project on track. She pushed me to tell more personal stories, to let the reader know what these fights felt like. Amelia was also the one who repeatedly said, “Tell more about this story,” or “This is confusing,” or the much-dreaded “This is boring.” She helped make this a better book, and I am deeply grateful.

Dan Geldon has been my partner as we fought our way side by side through five battles now, and much of what we’ve accomplished should be credited to him. From his student days, Dan has been a crucial co-conspirator—the strategist who made sure that we kept our goals firmly in mind and managed toward them every day. Where I am blunt, Dan is subtle, and he sees much that I would miss. Another former student, Ganesh Sitaraman is the great thinker of the team, the one who sees context and direction. He has a ravenous appetite for ideas, and he shares them with generous delight. Like Dan, Ganesh was a close-up partner for most of these battles. Without Dan and Ganesh, the adventures would have been fewer and the successes fewer still.

In this book, I tell what happened, what I saw, and what I fought for, but I was never alone. Thanks should be widely shared. In the Bankruptcy Wars, no one deserves more credit than my longtime coauthors Professor Jay Lawrence Westbrook and Dr. Teresa Sullivan. We set out on our first empirical study together, venturing into uncharted territory; no one could ask for better partners in such an undertaking. Other co-researchers and coauthors joined us along the way in various groupings and regroupings in research projects that spanned more than twenty-five years—some of which are still ongoing. Professor Melissa Jacoby joined our efforts, and then Professor Katherine Porter, Dr. Deborah Thorne, and Professor John Pottow. Together they helped build some of our biggest, most comprehensive studies. Professor Bruce Markell worked on the design of a new study, until he left to become a judge. Professor Robert Lawless and Professor Angela Littwin added new depth and new directions to the studies. Dr. Steffie Woolhandler and Dr. David Himmelstein brought their health care experience to help us expand the reach of our work. Dean Michael Schill and Dr. Susan Wachter helped us explore housing issues. We went into the field multiple times through the years, with study after study, to provide hard facts about the economic realities facing America’s middle class.
