More quotes by 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.

These public-private partnerships are very, very dangerous. The most rotten part of the financial system in the US consisted of the government sponsored entities, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. They really kicked off this crisis. The state should set the rules and enforce them - but not become involved as a market player.
George Soros
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
Discount the obvious, bet on the unexpected
George Soros
Globalization has rendered the world increasingly interdependent, but international politics is still based on the sovereignty of states.
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
President George W. Bush is endangering the United States and the world's safety while undermining American values.
George Soros
America needs to follow the policies it has introduced in Germany. We have to go through a certain de-Nazification process.
George Soros
I think there's a lot of merit in an international economy and global markets, but they're not sufficient because markets don't look after social needs.
George Soros
As an anonymous participant in financial markets, I never had to weigh the social consequences of my actions ... I felt justified in ignoring them on the grounds that I was playing by the rules.
George Soros
