In this brilliant and spirited book, Soros brings together a vital collection of his writings, some never previously published. They deal with a wide range of important and timely topics: the dangers that the instruments of control produced by artificial intelligence and machine learning pose to open societies; what Soros calls his "political philanthropy"; his founding of the Central European University, one of the world's foremost defender of academic freedom; his philosophy; his boom/bust theory of financial markets and its policy implications; and what he calls the tragedy of the European Union. Soros's forceful affirmation of freedom, democracy, the rule of law, human rights, social justice, and social responsibility as a universal idea is a clarion call-to-arms for the ideals of open society. 600 10 Soros, George |d1930- |xPolitical and social views. 650 0 Liberty. 650 0 Liberalism. 650 0 Finance. 942 |2ddc |cBK 952 |00 |10 |2ddc |40 |6332_092000000000000_SOR |70 |8GEN |9129206OSA |bOSA |d2020-02-26 |eOSA |l0 |o332.092 SOR |r2020-02-26 |w2020-02-26 |yBK |zDonation of István Rév. |cGeneral Stacks 920 01 1e2nQGeG 992 01 332_092000000000000_SOR |bWWX_ZQXZZZZZZZZZZZZ_7B8 966 |cIn the Research Room
