Dedication
For everyone who thinks “there has to be more to it than that.”
You’re usually right.
ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
THANKS TO THE people who still believe in nuance.
To those who ask questions without knowing the answers.
To those who hear the name “Soros” and still bother to look it up.
And to my family, who always lets me go off the rails.
Extra thanks to my grandpa, who asked the kinds of questions that helped this book get written in the first place.
