Last week we concluded by asking what George Soros was up to. Well, here he is on his soapbox lecturing at the Central European University (CEU) from Oct 26-30, 2009. Unfortunately, the Institute for New Economic Thinking (INET) did not load the either the transcripts or the videos to this occasion. The Financial Times (FT) was kind enough to inform us that there are transcripts as well audio and video to his lectures. We are sure that many would like to hear what he had to say on matters economic. The FT gave a brief summary as to what you can expect.
According to the FT website – “These lectures are the culmination of a lifetime of practical and philosophical reflection. Mr Soros discusses his general theory of reflexivity and its application to financial markets, providing insights into the recent financial crisis. The third and fourth lectures examine the concept of open society, which has guided Mr Soros’s global philanthropy, as well as the potential for conflict between capitalism and open society. The closing lecture focuses on the way ahead, closely examining the increasingly important economic and political role that China will play in the future”.
There is really no need for us to link the different lectures as you can get them on one page. Anyway, here it is http://www.ft.com/cms/90bc6a02-bf0b-11de-8034-00144feab49a.htm?ftcamp=Feat_cta1/NL/UKNov2009/Vanilla_gsoros/0/
You could say that this is really the first shot in the battle for new economic thinking. No doubt, many will argue against whatever he has said. Enjoy people and please let us know what you think. Cheers.
