More quotes by George Soros
Regulating and taxing marijuana would simultaneously save taxpayers billions of dollars in enforcement and incarceration costs, while providing many billions of dollars in revenue annually.
George Soros
I passionately disagreed with Treasury Secretary Hank Paulson's plan to bail out the banks by using a public fund called the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP) to help banks take toxic assets off their balance sheets. I argued that it would be much better to put the money where the hole was and replenish the equity of the banks themselves.

There is very little difference between speculation and investment. The only difference is basically that investments are successful speculations because if you successfully anticipate the future you make a speculative profit.
George Soros
The more comprehensive and convincing a debt reduction program is, the less likely it is to fail. And remember, just as Germany is grateful to America for the Marshall Plan, Italy would be grateful to Germany for helping it lower its refinancing costs.

George Soros
Money values do not simply mirror the state of affairs in the real world valuation is a positive act that makes an impact on the course of events. Monetary and real phenomena are connected in a reflexive fashion that is, they influence each other mutually. The reflexive relationship manifests itself most clearly in the use and abuse of credit.
George Soros
However, even a strong government can't perform miracles. It needs money from the taxpayers.
George Soros
Market prices are always wrong.
George Soros
Economics seeks to be a science. Science is supposed to be objective and it is difficult to be scientific when the subject matter, the participant in the economic process, lacks objectivity.
George Soros
The concept of a general equilibrium has no relevance to the real world (in other words, classical economics is an exercise in futility).
George Soros
I think that my foundation uses the money better than the government does. In any event, I do pay taxes.
George Soros
It is much easier to put existing resources to better use, than to develop resources where they do not exist.
George Soros
Markets are constantly in a state of uncertainty and flux and money is made by discounting the obvious and betting on the unexpected.
George Soros
Discount the obvious, bet on the unexpected
George Soros
You could adjust the punishment to fit the infraction. Even a small fine would be enough to bring an errant government to heel.
George Soros
I admire Chancellor Merkel for her leadership qualities, but she is leading Europe in the wrong direction.
