Synopsis

George Soros, financial guru and philanthropist, doer and brooder, is considered not only the superstar, but also as the "Social Democrat" among foreign exchange speculators. Soros became famous worldwide when he pushed the British pound out of the European monetary system in 1992 with his speculations, earning around a billion dollars. At the same time, he acts as a benefactor; from his stock market profits, he maintains two dozen foundations around the world that have dedicated themselves above all to one goal: they want to promote the development of open, democratic societies. In total, Soros has donated over two billion marks so far.
In his book, George Soros passionately pleads for the realization of the open society - and thus unfolds the mental framework on which he has oriented himself during his work throughout his life. He pleads for an alliance of all democracies, for the construction of a world society that deserves its name - because only answers to those questions that accompany global capitalism: how can the gap between rich and poor be reduced? What are the dangers of the unholy alliance of politics and capital? And what new institutions do we need to protect freedom and democracy from the destructive forces of the market?
