Anthony Sutton is a British-born American economist. He is the author of more than two dozen monographs on the secret mechanisms of power in the United States. His books are distinguished by a large number of documentary materials from American sources. E. Sutton’s book “The Illusion of Choice. Who Rules America" is dedicated to the activities of the Trilateral Commission, one of the main international financial and political structures. The influence of the “Commission” goes far beyond the United States, affecting, among other things, Russia. Written in a bright, interesting, accessible language, Sutton’s book is intended for both political scientists and a wide range of readers.
