Critical praise for Soros on Soros
“If you have ever wanted to sit down for a candid conversation with a phenomenal financial success, George Soros’s book provides the opportunity. You will meet a complex man and a first-rate mind.”-Henry A. Kissinger
“The best expert on Soros is undoubtedly George Soros! After all, who is better equipped to tell us what he really thinks and how he thinks, a matter of some importance given the fact that he has translated a remarkable personal financial success into a truly generous and historically significant effort to promote postcommunist democracy.” -Zbigniew Brzezinski
“The best X-ray of the mind of the master yet.” -Barton M. Biggs
“George Soros brings a lot more to the world of finance than the intuition and nerve of a born trader-and in Soros on Soros he’s no longer bashful about telling us about it. A philosopher at heart, George attributes his success at investing to a theory of the interaction of reality and human perception. What really drives the man now, with a personal fortune beyond all personal need, is a different kind of strategic investing-investment to build in Eastern Europe the kind of open societies he came to value in his own life.” -Paul A. Volcker
