Book: „The Soros Lectures at the Central European University" by George Soros

SOROS WOULD MAKE IT HARDER FOR PEOPLE LIKE HIM TO MAKE BILLIONS


By Mark Memmott

The man who famously "broke the Bank of England" in the early '90s by playing within the regulatory system of the time to make $1 billion as the pound sterling crumbled, continues to make the case for better regulations that would make it much harder for people like him to make so much money.


Billionaire George Soros has been advocating for, as he wrote recently at TheMotleyFool, regulations that are "international in scope."

In a conversation earlier today with Morning Edition co-host Steve Inskeep, readily admitted that "it would have denied me some opportunities for making money" if rules and regulations had been tighter over the years.
Soros has just published a new book, The Soros Lectures, which spells out his thinking on "finance, capitalism and open society." 

This video offers a taste of what those lectures were like: http://link.brightcove.com/services/player/bcpid1125995047?bctid=49755285001
