What is anthony sutton?

Anthony Sutton (1925-2002) was a British-born economist, historian, and writer who became famous for his research into the relationships between political and financial elites, particularly with regard to international banking, corporate interests, and the funding of wars and revolutions.

Sutton studied at the universities of London, Göttingen, and California, and held various academic positions before becoming a research fellow at the Hoover Institution at Stanford University. His most well-known works include "Wall Street and the Bolshevik Revolution" (1974), "Wall Street and the Rise of Hitler" (1976), and "Wall Street and FDR" (1976). In these books, Sutton argued that major Wall Street financial institutions and corporations had been directly involved in funding and supporting communist, fascist, and socialist movements around the world in order to further their own economic interests.

Sutton's research was controversial and often criticized for its conspiracy theories and lack of solid evidence. However, he gained a cult following among conspiracy theorists, libertarians, and anti-globalization activists who saw his work as evidence of the corrupt and conspiratorial nature of the political and economic establishment.

Despite his controversial reputation, Sutton's work has been influential in alternative history and conspiracy theory circles, and some of his writings have been cited by more mainstream historians and researchers looking into the connections between finance, politics, and conflicts.
