In this insightful history, Forbes magazine senior writer Emily Lambert explores the evolution of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange and Chicago Board of Trade, the original futures market. She reveals how commodities exchanges have become a crucial part of our global economic system, yet remain shrouded in mystery. The book delves into the emergence of the futures business as a hub for gamblers and farmers, which eventually transformed into a sophisticated electronic market. Lambert argues that the traditional futures market can serve as a useful example of how markets ought to work, offering a unique perspective on our current financial landscape. By examining the history of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange and Chicago Board of Trade, Lambert sheds light on the complexities of the futures industry and its impact on global trade. With 248 pages, this paperback edition provides a comprehensive look at the world of futures trading and its significance in modern finance.
