George Soros on America: In His Own Words

i) Introduction
ii) George Soros on America
iii) George Soros the Writer and Political Activist
iv) George Soros the Man

This piece relies extensively on George Soros’s own words. Of course, that’s not to say that there’s no commentary on those words or that the words weren’t selected. That said, these statements of the obvious (i.e., about political writing) can also be applied to all the positive takes on Soros (such as those in Bloomberg or the BBC), or indeed to any political subject ever written about. So, of course, the words have been chosen and, of course, they’ve been commented upon.

(If readers want Soros unadulterated, then I suggest that they buy one of his many books. Indeed, many of the links in this piece take you straight to Soros’s own writings.)

The first section states the rather obvious fact that Soros is deeply unhappy with America as it is. (Soros wants America to be radically different. Recall that these words were written when George Bush was President.) The second section deals specifically with Soros’s writings as they’re reflected — and sometimes unreflected — in his political activism and the political groups he’s connected to. Finally, there’s a section on Soros the man — or, more correctly, on how Soros sees himself.
