More quotes by George Soros
I admire Chancellor Merkel for her leadership qualities, but she is leading Europe in the wrong direction.
George Soros
The worse a situation becomes the less it takes to turn it around, the bigger the upside.
George Soros
The hardest thing to judge is what level of risk is safe.
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
Who most benefits from keeping marijuana illegal? The greatest beneficiaries are the major criminal organizations in Mexico and elsewhere that earn billions of dollars annually from this illicit trade - and who would rapidly lose their competitive advantage if marijuana were a legal commodity.
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 it is natural that every country has to take care of its interests, but there are some interests that are common to all countries. There are some human interests, or we need also international cooperation. We've sometimes confused it with dictation.
George Soros
Whenever there is a conflict between universal principles and self-interest, self-interest is likely to prevail.
George Soros
It is much easier to put existing resources to better use, than to develop resources where they do not exist.
George Soros
The scope for improvement is infinite, precisely because perfection is unattainable.
George Soros
A lot of the evil in the world is actually not intentional. A lot of people in the financial system did a lot of damage without intending to.
George Soros
Every bubble consists of a trend that can be observed in the real world and a misconception relating to that trend. The two elements interact with each other in a reflexive manner.
George Soros
There is always a divergence between our perception and what actually exists.
George Soros
Merkel has realized that the euro is not working, but she cannot change the narrative she has created because that narrative has caught the imagination of the German public, and the German public has accepted it.
George Soros
The strength of this country lies in the Declaration of Independence and the Bill of Rights and the freedom of speech and thought.
George Soros
Bush's war in Iraq has done untold damage to the United States. It has impaired our military power and undermined the morale of our armed forces. Our troops were trained to project overwhelming power. They were not trained for occupation duties.
George Soros
My main concern is with the world order
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
If we carry this line of argument to its logical conclusion, the meaning of life consists of the flaws in one's conceptions and what one does about them. Life can be seen as a fertile fallacy.
George Soros
The main obstacle to a stable and just world order is the United States. [This idea] happens to coincide with the prevailing opinion in the world. And I think that's rather shocking for Americans to hear.
George Soros
