In this brilliant and spirited book, Soros brings together a vital collection of his writings, some never previously published. They deal with a wide range of important and timely topics: the dangers that the instruments of control produced by artificial intelligence and machine learning pose to open societies; what Soros calls his "political philanthropy"; his founding of the Central European University, one of the world's foremost defender of academic freedom; his philosophy; his boom/bust theory of financial markets and its policy implications; and what he calls the tragedy of the European Union. Soros's forceful affirmation of freedom, democracy, the rule of law, human rights, social justice, and social responsibility as a universal idea is a clarion call-to-arms for the ideals of open society. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references (pages 209-210). 600 10 $a Soros, George $x Political and social views. 650 0 $a Liberty. 650 0 $a Liberalism. 650 0 $a Finance. 941 $a 5 952 $l FXPH314 $d 20220909055523.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20201103023042.0 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20200208010534.0 952 $l XBPE737 $d 20191205015639.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20191029011458.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=8C1B52B4FA1111E9A561886097128E48 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
