GEORGE SOROS - How can George Soros (one of the few philosophers who can be credited with both developing a prospective and succesfully implementing it in economic-financial and social life) be seen from the prospective of Open Society 2.0? This is one of the topic discussed on http://www.opensociety20.com
Born August 12, 1930, in Budapest, Hungary, as György Schwartz, George Soros is an American stock investor, philanthropist, and political activist. He peacefully promotes democracy in USA and abroad. Currently, he is the chairman of Soros Fund Management and the Open Society Institute and is also a former member of the Board of Directors of the Council on Foreign Relations. His support for the Solidarity labor movement in Poland, as well as the Czechoslovakian human rights organization Charter 77, contributed to ending Soviet Union political dominance in those countries. His funding and organization of Georgia’s Rose Revolution was considered by Russian and Western observers to have been crucial to its success, although Soros said his role has been “greatly exaggerated.”
