“Years ago when I was studying the ways of the Chicago Wheat Exchange I suddenly grasped how they managed the whole world’s wheat from there and yet I did not grasp it either. I knew at once: you’ve run into bad trouble … these people, I saw, lived by the harm which they did, not by the good … This was a situation which could only be maintained by crime, because too bad for most people. Such and suchlike I thought as I lowered the book with its description of the Chicago wheat market and exchange. Much trouble and tribulation awaited me.”
