review 1: George soros has a Non unique view of economy. He simply wants to get richer. No secret about it .warren buffet wants to get richer too but he stresses in a fair playing field Soros thinks that we need to take advantage of Any playing field If we see a hole we take advantage. Warren tries to close the holes. I read both and both have served me well. I'm a little fish in a little pond but a fat fish
review 2: This book is very interesting because is covers a wide variety of disciplines, from philosophy to economics to politics. Soros is no doubt a smart guy who's really thought through financial markets as well as his own theories. There was one point in the book where he went all "Spiderman" and mentioned how with great power and money comes great responsi... morebility or something like that. While I agree that he's done some great things for great causes with his wealth and power, he was all about insider trading and short selling to GET his wealth and power. Despite this, his philanthropy is impressive overall.Nevertheless, he seems like a decent guy with some good insights. Unfortunately, I'm not properly versed in financial market vocabulary to fully understand everything he's talking about, but this is well worth a read for those interested in free markets, bubbles, and ideas like "market fundamentalism." less
