DFR, I am yours in dharma, Sonchai Jitpleecheep.

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

In the course of the narrative I have made use, from time to time, of both arguments and vocabulary found in the excellent pamphlet
The Last Commodity
, by Nancy Scheper-Hughes (Multiversity & Citizens International), and in
Commodifying Bodies
, edited by Scheper-Hughes and Loïc Wacquant (London: Sage Publications). Such use is entirely in the frivolous context of a fictional narrative, however, and cannot be construed as a representation of the serious purpose of these publications or their contributors.
