My work was supported in part by a Charles Phelps Taft Postdoctoral Fellowship from the University of Cincinnati. Thanks go to Charles Cross and Michael Kremer for their provocative objections in the early stages, to Kent Bendall for pressing for greater rigor, to an anonymous referee for pressing for clarifications in the final section, and to Peter Vallentyne for helpful stylistic suggestions.
