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.
许多人都梦想使世界变得更美好,但是和大多数人相比,索罗斯说自己是幸运的,因为他能比他们更好地实现这个梦想。作为对世界金融市场具有重要影响力的人物,索罗斯试图通过自己的力量改变世界。
索罗斯被认为是“打垮英格兰银行的人”,也被指责为“1997年亚洲金融危机的始作俑者”。他是一个攫取巨额财富的金融大鳄,也是一个声名卓著的慈善家和社会活动家。自1979年以来,索罗斯成了一名活跃的慈善家,开始帮助黑人学生进入种族隔离下南非的开普敦大学就读。他成立了一个遍布全球50多个国家的慈善网络组织,致力于倡导民主和开放社会的价值观。该基金组织网络每年的支出约为4.5亿美元。
我们对于世界的看法永远和真实的世界不相一致,因为我们本来就是社会的一部分。我们在无意识间的想法也成为我们必须要考虑的。理解思维与现实之间的关系,就好比射活靶。我们对世界的看法也在改变着世界。这样一来,人们便无法对世间万物获得完美的认识。 通过考虑思维与现实...
评分首尾章节阐述了索罗斯的哲学框架,以及基于此框架的社会理想(开放社会)和投资理念。这些值得读2遍以上。 其他中间章节的对全球经济,政治博弈等,我觉得就是一般大报社的记者水平,太虚,或者篇幅所限,无法深入,随便看看。 索罗斯认为经济学属于社会科学,而现在很多研究认...
评分 评分我总觉得索罗斯的逻辑有问题,就是他将自然和人类社会的研究规律割裂开,这也是他反对波普尔统一性原则的理由,他认为自然是客观存在,而人类社会的现实不是客观存在。 我觉得这种区别只是时间尺度的问题,自然规律对于人类短暂的时间尺度来说表现为客观性,当站在银河系的时间...
评分文中花了很多篇幅抨击布什,介于出版时间,尚轮不到对后来的继任者奥巴马和川普进行评价。网上搜了搜,Soros对于奥巴马是很喜欢的,且不少报道认为奥巴马是soros的傀儡,而对于川普的评价极低,如果是今时今日出版,估计抨击川普的行文比布什还多。 以下,书摘 ———————...
