Book Synopsis

To Make a Killing chronicles the life of Arthur Cutten, the grain and stock market speculator who made a fortune during the 1920s and was later vilified by the Roosevelt administration as one of the “banksters” responsible for the Great Depression.



Trade Review

“While the history of the financial markets of the early twentieth century has been well documented, To Make a Killing approaches the topic from a new angle, bringing the relatively unknown story of Arthur Cutten to life. Extensively researched, this is an interesting book that deserves to be read.” Angela Redish, Vancouver School of Economics, University of British Columbia


“To Make a Killing offers a fresh and engaging adventure through the life of a little-known commodity and stock exchange speculator. The book will be a valuable read for anyone interested in financial history or American history.” Joe Martin, co-author of From Wall Street to Bay Street: The Origins and Evolution of American and Canadian Finance
