The lineage.
This is a starting point, not the whole library. Each entry is sorted by publication year and annotated with why it matters to the work we do. We have linked the sources directly so you can read them yourself and draw your own conclusions. They helped us name the context from which this practice, and its range of market solutions, was built.
