Answer 1

I would suggest doing something like this:

    People persons = new People(new JavaScriptSerializer().Deserialize<IList<Person>>(json));

and changing your constructor to this:

    public People(IEnumerable<Person> collection) : base(collection)
    {

    }

You don't have to worry about messy casts between types, and it works just as well since your People class has a base constructor that takes in an IEnumberable.
