6 Acknowledgements This book owes a great deal to the close attention given to the manuscript by Patrick Heenan and Monique Lamontagne, whose insightful criticism and comments did much to shape its development. The author would also like to thank all those people who gave their time and thoughts in interviews as well as his Asiamoney colleagues who guided his first steps in the region. GRAHAM FIELD viii
