許多人都夢想使世界變得更美好,但是和大多數人相比,索羅斯說自己是幸運的,因為他能比他們更好地實現這個夢想。作為對世界金融市場具有重要影響力的人物,索羅斯試圖通過自己的力量改變世界。
索羅斯被認為是“打垮英格蘭銀行的人”,也被指責為“1997年亞洲金融危機的始作俑者”。他是一個攫取巨額財富的金融大鰐,也是一個聲名卓著的慈善傢和社會活動傢。自1979年以來,索羅斯成瞭一名活躍的慈善傢,開始幫助黑人學生進入種族隔離下南非的開普敦大學就讀。他成立瞭一個遍布全球50多個國傢的慈善網絡組織,緻力於倡導民主和開放社會的價值觀。該基金組織網絡每年的支齣約為4.5億美元。
The legendary financier-and founder of the Open Society Institute-offers crucial insight into the real meaning of freedom, and how societies can best promote it
After reflecting on his support of a losing Democrat for president, George Soros steps back to revisit his views on why George Bush's policies around the world fall short in the arenas most important to Soros: democracy, human rights and open society. As a survivor of the Holocaust and a life-long proponent of free expression, Soros understands the meaning of freedom. And yet his differences with George Bush, another proponent of freedom, are profound.
In this powerful essay Soros spells out his views and how they differ from the president's. He reflects on why the Democrats may have lost the high ground on these values issues and how they might reclaim it. As he has in his recent books, On Globalization and The Bubble of American Supremacy, Soros uses facts, anecdotes, personal experience and philosophy to illuminate a major topic in a way that both enlightens and inspires.

評:這本書自己最大的收獲就是反身性這個概念。人們把研究自然規律的方法用於研究人類的社會行為,卻不知二者有明顯的區彆。自然規律的研究之所以能夠找到真理是因為現實與真理獨立存在,自然規律不以人類的意誌為轉移。但是人類是社會行為的一部分,人類研究社會行為的舉動本...
評分溢美之詞就不多說瞭(請此處腦補五韆字)。簡單提兩個小意見。 第一個意見是爺爺在宏觀上縱橫捭闔,開掛上帝視角,令人嘆為觀止,但是一等到瞭具體問題的時候(第三章以及往後)稍微一個不小心陳述主體就一秒鍾All變We,從上帝視角塌縮到美國視角,而且我並不喜歡“應該如何如...
評分對於人類社會的再一次猜想 評《這個時代的無知與傲慢》 開放社會(Open Society)這個概念一開始由哲學傢亨利•博格森(Henri Bergson)提齣。在一個開放社會中,政府容許並接受民間的批評;政府行為透明;它不是集權社會,個人自由和人權是開放社會的基石。卡爾•波普爾...
評分開放社會:相對靜態的,産生固定的統治階級的社會被認為是封閉社會;而由公民積極參與的,以不斷自我改正錯誤的社會是開放社會的核心想法。 不寫專門傳記的緣由: 思維方式抽象,除非具體事件提供人生經驗或見解,否則=一無是處:不留痕跡 更願意解釋他的人生理念框架 人類對...
