Acclaim for Leo Melamed's memoir highlights his remarkable journey from a Holocaust survivor to a transformative figure in the financial world. Arriving in the U.S. at age 9, he single-handedly turned a minor commodity exchange into the leading futures market globally. His influence is acknowledged by notable figures, including Milton Friedman, who praises Melamed's impact on the financial landscape. Ambassador Clayton Yeutter notes that Melamed revolutionized futures trading, placing him among the business world's elite. Merton H. Miller reflects on Melamed's resilience, crediting his father for instilling the qualities that helped him build the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) and shape the modern financial services industry. John Damgard emphasizes Melamed's pivotal role in establishing the financial futures industry. The memoir recounts Melamed's escape from Nazi-occupied Poland, his family's journey through Siberia and Japan, and their eventual settlement in Chicago. There, he embraced American culture and found his calling at the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, where he was captivated by the vibrant trading environment. Starting as a pork belly trader, Melamed led the CME for 25 years, introducing finance to a previously agriculture-dominated industry, ultimately leaving an indelible mark on global finance.
