He talks about the corruption and self-interest in govn't and how special interests influence by buying the politicians. THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT HE DOES - HE BUYS CANDIDATES THAT WILL SUPPORT HIS VIEWS. He talks about regulation of the commodities/trading markets but OPERATES HIS FUND OFFSHORE AND OUT OF THE REACH OF the SEC/regulations. Listen carefully to his explanation of the game he knows it well and plays it even better!!

One of the 30 biggest billionaires in the world talking against capitalism? Who do you think you're fooling?

Do as I say, not as I do.

Why is he so interested in the American bill of Rights??? Scary.

You'd think a billionaire could hire an audio tech

My god the media is at his service, he manipulates what can be said. And he says people are in morally manipulated, and this is 10 years after the speech.

I’m going oversimplify this but here it goes. Throughout the first, second, and part of the third piece of his speech I was with the thought, okay, governments, corporations, and populations without morals tend to mess civilization up. I can generally agree with that. But then towards the end he basically says, as a business person he does what he can to make money, but as a citizen he tries to change policy to make it impossible for citizens to make money the way he has made it. In other words, I’ve gotten my piece of the pie now I’m going to work to make it harder, if not illegal, for you to get your piece.

My social experiments “Sometimes they work and sometimes they don’t.” This guy is so rich ( from Capitalism/ Democracy) that this is his pass time.

Needs serious investigation.

The irony of advocating for "open societies" when everything he does is for complete control and authority.

Open society = one world government

These people use Orwellian newspeak - watch their words and then watch their actions and see if they are the same. A billionaire being against capitalism? 🤔

HOW RICH COMING FROM HIM, someone profiting from so much human suffering

Now banned from his own country as well as 5 others! I hope this 3 continues to grow!

gEORGE" I DON'T LIKE ELECTED OFFICIALS, iLL BUY MY OWN" sOROS .

"If you really know what is going on, you don't need to know what is going on to know what is going on" Adam Smith the Money Game. There's a wide gap between perception and reality .

He will be judge and remember by his actions not by bullshit he is trying to sell

( Open society ) a code word for Socialism .

He says that communism is interesting but they put their needs above the people's needs but you notice he never mentions Hitler or the nazis

How about this George, and im being serious here, how about you find a piece of land a large piece of land, buy it (not in any exisint country) and make it sovereign, then you find a bunch of like-minded individuals such as yourself and develop the land as you see fit and have your open society and run it for a while to see how it works? if it doesn't pan out too well then you learned something, and repeat, keep doing this until you find something that works, but playing with peoples lives to get to your end goal of implementing this into a capitalist society, I think is evil

As long as I would live I would do maximum to never let people with opinions like these to control future courses of our lives, even if I'd be unsuccessful poor and ill.

The less evil concept makes people lose the moral judgement.

What values?

agency problem?? what does it means ? i don't understand, wich agencies?

George is 91. How many more days do you think he has before he meets his Maker??

His day is right around the corner.

I hope they don’t realize I’m “projecting” and talking about myself” . 🐍🔥

I think that it is great that Mr. George Soros can stand up and give us a lecture on Ethical Behaviour!

42:36 what people who call soros evil just don't seem to undestand.

44:30 - 45:48 especially 44:58 - 45:48!!!

does it sound like a clear set of arguments of a coherent thinker?

the instigator of Kyoto Animation arson attack, California, Amazon and Indonesian wildfires plot, with Shinji Aoba being one of his pawn for one of his organizations' associates

If someone tell me to hate someone... I always seek out as much information as possible! He doesn’t believe in God! That tells me all I need to know!

go to accuracy in media (AIM) for more info

Some say he acquired an interest-free loan from a bank that he worked for which helped start his hedge fund and it's well known that they don't charge one another interest. How many can get an interest-free loan. Not many.

Open Society is all capitalism if anything its goal is to protect human rights that extend over to commercial/property rights.

Instead of focusing on how social values should influence market value and vice versa and subjectively define the rules of conduct, you should focus on a system that as whole would autonomously results in both values optimally.

Why did he get so excited when he said " the trouble is special interests also seek to disguise themselves as protectors of the public interest and it takes a discerning eye to distinguish between the genuine and the phoney"

An open society will not exempt the politician. An open society only gives a few politicians the keys to the whole world at the cost of human freedom.

I beg to differ there is no constitutional rights left where i live in oregon. Precious thought though. People think it is a joke here

I love Soros's ideas and honesty. Tho I must say that I think he underestimates the damage refugee crisis has on european democracy and unity of EU. We must recognize that refugee immigration has completely changed in last five decades. Since wealth, technology and social security have increased tremendously in Europe, we cannot have uncontrolled immigration and naively hope that our western values will remain intact. As your mentor Karl Popper said that "Less well known is the paradox of tolerance: Unlimited tolerance must lead to the disappearance of tolerance. If we extend unlimited tolerance even to those who are intolerant, if we are not prepared to defend a tolerant society against the onslaught of the intolerant, then the tolerant will be destroyed, and tolerance with them." Because modern immigration is additionally caused by greed and hatred of west, countries where intolerance is virtue will use immigration as means to fulfill their function. We must recognize that (sadly) refugee crisis is a massive act of intolerance, but not from "nationalists" but refugees themselves

What is perverse is an economic system where risk is not shared. It is also against the religion which everyone knows and the fact they will practice this on some and not others is an act of economic war.

we are watching.

Intra-paradigm .....so smart. George is a bubble within a bubble, who, by luck, made a lot of money in the Fiat market....thus has credibility. He totally ignores that Fiat is what disrupts the market. Namely, Fiat money. If people are inheritanly evil then they need not others evil to be determinant. If people are good.....they need not rulers.

GEORGE YOU NEED TO READ RICARDO SEMLERS BOOK MAVERICK--

Specifically, what has this man done (that has been _proven_) to make everybody hate him so much?

Funny how it's always the Uber rich telling others profit is bad, tax the rich, and redistribute others wealth.

very deep ...... beyond thoughts

He should invite all this immigrants he sponsored to be shipped back to his house

The people are rising up against these gangster Bankers.

everybody hate him cause' is rich....but he's not a stupid! loads of thigs he said are right

I think Open Society is a misnomer. i believe it only means open at the bottom .In so doing the top becomes more isolated and powerful. See economic incentives. Elites are keen to human nature and its inevitable liabilities as a result of competition, overcrowding, even under the most controlled conditions. The range in temperament, intelligence, refinement, en masse would be most beneficial to elites in taking steps backwards while powerful elites take steps to advance and widen the gap between success and failure within the context of natural ability and status. Hence,Open Society doesn't mean we are getting freer or more advanced per se. Quite the contrary. Its allure is the example of the bubble, its value as an ideal, and its inevitable burst ( and equilibrium, to give him the benefit of the doubt) at the expense of consumers. His revenge against Anglo supremacy and establishment of Jewish dominance is complete.

Most Americans disagree with universal healthcare bco apart of our social identity is WORKING. Ppl should draw their benefits from gainful employment, not free healthcare by the simple virtue of being poor. There is medicaid/medicare for the truly indigent. I can see how corporations would lobby to push that financial burden on middle class taxpayers while they slide through loopholes. And I can see the money train for insurance companies who gorge mandatory insurance on citizens while doing the least. You dont work, you dont eat. Period.

a solid ted talk.

Had to miss the $oros lecture cuz I already had tickets to the Hitler lecture.

I'm asking native English speaking guys (I'm Hungarian). Does George Soros have strong Hungarian accent according to you? It's just weird for me, cause he's been living in the USA since 1956, and from 1947 (17 years old) to 1956 he lived in the UK, so I really dont understand why he still has accent at all. And on the other hand search for "Andrea Osvart on Craig Ferguson". That girl has perfect American pronunciation while he spent there very few time...

This is part of a plan, and this part of the plan is to detach itself from the future swarm of graduate lobbyists in order to achieve this part of the plan sooner. I cannot be sure if the plan is ethical or where it will lead, because considering all the possible directions the plan could take is very difficult to determine. I fear that because of this plan, many of us will have to suffer for many decades.

He is so right about the lobbists. The problem is basically the money exchange in the first place. As long as we must have a value system like this all forms of government will eventually come to the same point. The greedy and power hungry will always have gross advantage over the society. The reason we have the constraints on business is due to the fact that even when employers can afford to provide safe work environments, employ equally those who qualify for a job, and work to pay for the necessities of life..but, employers were horrible to employees, thus government grew. And now we may be faced with WWIII and the end of everything.

I want to know if there are differences in social classes in open society?

@hieronomy dangerous for humanity....and the naive!

Well, I'm satisfied with the comments. :)

35:30 extreme political views are America's social and governmental problems.

He makes a valid argument that capitalism is not perfect and talks about reasons. He sounds like he wants to improve current economic system not destroy it. But he gives money to far left!!! They want to destroy it!

Ty

Lecture 4 of 5

one positive thing about him: he tries to be grammatically and in the choice of words accurate. on the ideas he presents, they are interesting but not brilliant.

I wonder what words he used to influence the other countries he has set out to ruin. I loathe those who think that they are so smart that it is their job to treat other humans as rats in a game

When you touch the moneny so you do not but the second one infcet you everything belongs to you you can take anything super genialne

He knows the game and have the money to play the game which is to buy people. He knew the root of the problem that people can be bought. Politicians, government agent as well as business players can be bought if your price is right. The different forms of government only invites different ways to play the game. When will he stop 100 bill 200 bill 300 bill. Never.

Ok I have come on here to look at this man for myself! People often say I would like to speak to Einstein Beethoven and so on. I would like to speak to him and try and understand who this man really is. But I’m just a number in the masses. See if I can have my mind changed on here. Not sure how it will go. He is right about the corruption in governments. I have many other questions. Oh well 😔

Watch a 2times speed much easier to watch

Seems to me that people his age absolutely and desperately overcomplicate things in the effort to save their own power and estabilishment... Rotten vegetables... smells of putrid greed. He just like kissinger. Talks bufloons and millions cheer! And... here we arw now... 2020

There is not invisible hands in economy

Everyone needs to watch and see what a modern day oligarch is....

Pure evil...Hungry banned him! The US should do the same. Horrible evil, devil

estas são as mãos que a Humanidade precisa pois sem elas não têm nada.

And he left everyone defenceless :-(

Insightful

very true not only in africa but also in latin america where even simple agriculture balance is destoyed buy large MNCs which exploit this resources even fund violence inoder to continue to exploiting this resources.

These people are nuts. 2020.

Edward thomo mis ideas y las distorsionó a su favor.

😂We all know, what this guy stands for. Regardless of his masquerade!

You need to work to change the government where the victims of crimes are compensated not the government and then they will be against crime now they are benefitting from crime.

Am I upseting by watching this vidios?

"Resource curse." Hmm... Isn't rooted in European and American colonialism which is still plagueing so-called third world countries to the present day? Correct me if I'm wrong.

i like that you said 'known as communism'..i think that the (theoretical) system tends to something that is neither capitalism nor communism...but that superficial differences are used to make distinctions between the system

This guy funds the agency problem. He is the driving force behind it. It seems quite disingenuous to fund the inherent problem you are concerned about. What is his real agenda?

Now I know why he supported Move On.org.

Teleprompters haha.

hello

The irrational fear of capitalism as being antithetical to socialism is so outdated. Be weary of anyone who claims to be a champion of the people.

I don’t disagree with anything Soros says regarding the agency problem…however, it is well established that he is also a participant in the system yet unlike everyone else he seems to believes that he is not corruptible, and that his actions are noble. When it comes to narcissism, I don’t see much daylight between him and Trump.

George Soros is the perfect representation of the bank trolls in Harry pothead.

Hero

God help us all

45:22 YES YES YES

I Repeated 18:57 a couple times & I understood EVERYTHING 😵😵😵
