The Lecture Series

Open Society Institute chairman and founder George Soros shares his latest thinking on economics and politics in a five-part lecture series recorded at Central European University, October 26-30, 2009. The lectures are the culmination of a lifetime of practical and philosophical reflection.

Soros discusses his general theory of reflexivity and its application to financial markets, providing insights into the recent financial crisis. The third and fourth lectures examine the concept of open society, which has guided Soros's global philanthropy, as well as the potential for conflict between capitalism and open society. The closing lecture focuses on the way ahead, examining the increasingly important economic and political role that China will play in the future.

  • 'Philosophy isn't very professional'? Read a book or some journal articles. Basing economic theory on totally unrealistic assumptions is not only unprofessional it's damaging to the real world economy. What he is say isn't original but it's definitely true. Look up intersubjectivity and performativity. Perception moves the markets fact: Option Pricing Theory is an obvious an verifiable example.

  • it is fine as wisdom gleamed from empirical practice, and i agree with you about the thin and unrealistic neoclassical model. the philosophy here though, not the economics mind you, isn't a breakthrough. as he said, it is obvious but neglected, but only by economists.

  • sorry buddy you are a good guy, but the philosophy isn't very professional.
