Buying a Better World : George Soros and Billionaire Philanthropy Paperback / softback

Paperback / softback

Description

The incredible, inside story of the man and the organization changing the way we change the world. George Soros is well known as the legendary speculator who made a fortune betting against the British pound in 1992, but he is also a philanthropist who has spent billions in order to promote democracy around the world.

Morton Abramowitz of the Carnegie Endowment for Peace once said that Soros was "the only private citizen with his own foreign policy."Anna Porter has interviewed Soros, his senior staff, journalists, politicians, and many others in an attempt to understand the man.

Each person has a unique story to tell. Focusing on the last decade, she explores how Soros's Open Society Foundations have spread his ideas of human rights, democracy, Western liberalism, and participatory capitalism around the globe.

These are the ideas Soros has said he considers worth dying for.

How have they translated into reality? What will his legacy be?
