From Jay Gould's attempt to corner the gold market in the 1860s to the Hunt brothers's scandalous efforts to control the silver market in the 1980s, "Wheels of Fortune" traces the rich, colourful history of the futures market on its quest for respectability and profit. This account describes why this market has been grabbing headlines for over 100 years as both respectable economic institutions and hotbeds of gambling activity and scandal.
