More copies of this ISBNOpen Society: Reforming Global Capitalismby George Soros
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Lauded by the New York Times as "brilliant and persuasive", and published in more than thirty-five foreign editions, George Soros's The Crisis of Global Capitalism became an instant classic. A must read for anyone concerned with the complex market forces that rule our global economy and that have thrust us into a state of financial flux and international economic insecurity.<P>Now Soros takes a whole new look at the arguments he made in that book, incorporating the very latest in global economic and political developments. He shows how the recovery following the economic meltdown of 1998 may have been a false dawn, leaving us in a much more precarious position than we realize. He also explores surprising connections between events like the war in Kosovo and the economic wealth of nations. And he offers new insights into the fates of Russia, Asia, Europe and the United States.<P>Demonstrating that our still unquestioning faith in market forces blinds us to crucial economic instabilities, Open Society provides an inspiring vision of how to fix the flaws in the system - suggestions that have already influenced leaders at the IMF, the World Bank, and in many national governments. Book News Annotation:The iconoclastic fund manager author of The Crisis of Global
Capitalism and founder of Open Society Foundations presents his
"practical philosophy"—based on Bergson's concept of a society
based on universal as vs. tribal ethics—of why market
fundamentalism is as flawed as communism, and proposes an Open
Society Alliance and downsized International Monetary Fund for the
new globalism.
