THE PARADOX OF EXCHANGE<br />
Law and Economics at the University of Miami School of Law,<br />
for a short period a foreign exchange student helped take care of<br />
my children. I heard from her friends when she returned home<br />
that she said I had gotten rich "on the backs of others." For her, it<br />
was inconceivable that I could be earning so much without making<br />
others suffer. Manuel Ayau successfUlly dispels such misconcep-<br />
tions in his monograph.<br />
In a very real sense, we all compete to enrich others.<br />
If the world at large understood this last sentence, today the peo-<br />
ples of the world would be much richer than they are.<br />
One thing is certain: Manuel Ayau will have enriched the under-<br />
standing of free markets and voluntary exchange for all of those<br />
who read this monograph.<br />
