More quotes by George Soros
Find the trend whose premise is false, and bet against it.
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
Making an investment decision is like formulating a scientific hypothesis and submitting it to a practical test. The main difference is that the hypothesis that underlies an investment decision is intended to make money and not to establish a universally valid generalization.
George Soros
Discount the obvious, bet on the unexpected
George Soros

George Soros
In politics, manipulating reality can take presidence over finding reality.
George Soros
Economic history is a never-ending series of episodes based on falsehoods and lies, not truths. It represents the path to big money. The object is to recognize the trend whose premise is false, ride that trend and step off before it is discredited.
George Soros
Of course, speculation will always make a crisis worse. If there is a weak point, it will expose it.
George Soros
I am not well qualified to criticize the theory of rational expectations and the efficient market hypothesis because as a market participant I considered them so unrealistic that I never bothered to study them.
George Soros
The reality is that financial markets are self-destabilizing occasionally they tend toward disequilibrium, not equilibrium.
George Soros
My original intention was to spend the money in my lifetime.
George Soros

George Soros
I rely a great deal on animal instincts.
George Soros
The main enemy of the open society, I believe, is no longer the communist but the capitalist threat.
George Soros
The generally accepted view is that markets are always right -- that is, market prices tend to discount future developments accurately even when it is unclear what those developments are. I start with the opposite view. I believe the market prices are always wrong in the sense that they present a biased view of the future.
George Soros
It is much easier to put existing resources to better use, than to develop resources where they do not exist.
George Soros
At times of recession, running a budget deficit is highly desirable. Once the economy begins to recover, you have to balance the budget. But it will also need additional revenues. Should the government not receive them, we will all get punished with higher interest rates.
George Soros
When money is free, the rational lender will keep on lending until there is no one else to lend to.
George Soros
