Saving the world - What George Soros thinks

Posted on Feb 25th, 2007 by janos : Practical philosopher janos
As a practical philospher, George Soros may be in a class of his own.

As he says in the prologue to his book, The Age of Fallibility, he "combines three qualifications":

He has
  • a conceptual framework that has given him a way of understanding history;
  • a set of firm ethical and political beliefs;
  • a lot of money to nurture the political seeds of  Open Society in many troubled parts of the world.

Soros may be among the most competent and ethically guided critics of current American foreign policy. So the subtitle of the book is Consequences of the War on Terror.
