George Soros Lecture Series: Financial Markets

The Lecture Series

Open Society Institute chairman and founder George Soros shares his latest thinking on economics and politics in a five-part lecture series recorded at Central European University, October 26-30, 2009. The lectures are the culmination of a lifetime of practical and philosophical reflection.

Soros discusses his general theory of reflexivity and its application to financial markets, providing insights into the recent financial crisis. The third and fourth lectures examine the concept of open society, which has guided Soros's global philanthropy, as well as the potential for conflict between capitalism and open society. The closing lecture focuses on the way ahead, examining the increasingly important economic and political role that China will play in the future.

His entire speech is spoken without any passion. His voice basically puts me into sleep.

@MarkoKraguljac I know exactly what you mean, but i got feeling that this worldwide scam and fraud is coming to the end, and if it does, we got learn these mistakes for future. Furthermore, now my only hope is Ron Paul, you probably heard of him. Cause he seems to be the Man who stands for true human values - freedom, liberty, free market, non-intervention foreign policy, sound currency. And I believe hes true and is not part of these republicrat marionettes. Revolution is coming my friend:)

@juliusreea Well.. I challenge you to find another example of highly influential person who does try to do something more beside being greedy and ignorant. We allowed a society where minority of people who got lucky are free to do as they like while the rest are free to do as being told. And all this misery, out of impotence, is justified by religiously savage concept of invisible hand. Anyone who questions this lie is worth listening IMO.

@MarkoKraguljac well i doubt its possible since he's one of the little animals

Current markets are self regulating as much as grain barn full of rats is. Till there is food inside, rats reproduce exponentially. Once there is no more food, they starve and start cannibalizing themselves, disease spreads and rats get "regulated". Its a very harsh sort of regulation. We must ponder some even more "radical" changes than mr Soros proposes in order for things to get better.
