Over the course of this book, it will—I hope—become clear how the ten rules work together as a system. To foreshadow the story in brief, an economy is most likely to begin rising steadily when the nation is emerging from crisis, has fallen off the radar of the global markets and media, and has chosen a democratic leader with a mandate to reform. That leader will create the business conditions to attract productive investment, particularly in factories, roads, and technologies that will strengthen supply networks and thus help contain inflation.
