George Soros
Law has become a business. Health care has become a business. Unfortunately, politics has also become a business. That really undermines society.
George Soros

George Soros
Globalization has rendered the world increasingly interdependent, but international politics is still based on the sovereignty of states.
George Soros
I call government that works the best for people open society, which is basically just another more general term for a democracy that is - you call it maybe a liberal democracy. It's not only majority rule but also respect for minorities and minority opinions and the rule of law. So it's really a sort of institutional democracy.
George Soros

George Soros
