Who Are You, Matt Malone, and Why Did You Write “The Source of All Wealth?”

From my suburban and rural American upbringing in the 1970s and 1980s to the windswept decks of three naval vessels (the USS Inchon, USS Guam, and  suburban and USS Austin)—where I watched the old Soviet Empire crumble before my eyes—to the exhaust-filled streets of Bangkok, Thailand, I have walked many roads.
