书籍简介：

在线阅读本书 George Soros Ends the Speculation The outcome [of this book] is a summing up of my life′s work. . . As I finish the book, I feel I have succeeded."–George Soros from the Preface Critical praise for Soros on Soros If you have ever wanted to sit down for a candid conversation with a phenomenal financial success, George Soros′s book provides the opportunity. You will meet a complex man and a first–rate mind."–Henry A. Kissinger The best expert on Soros is undoubtedly George Soros! After all, who is better equipped to tell us what he really thinks and how he thinks, a matter of some importance given the fact that he has translated a remarkable personal financial success into a truly generous and historically significant effort to promote postcommunist democracy." –Zbigniew Brzezinski The best X–ray of the mind of the master yet." –Barton M. Biggs George Soros brings a lot more to the world of finance than the intuition and nerve of a born trader–and in Soros on Soros he′s no longer bashful about telling us about it. A philosopher at heart, George attributes his success at investing to a theory of the interaction of reality and human perception. What really drives the man now, with a personal fortune beyond all personal need, is a different kind of strategic investing–investment to build in Eastern Europe the kind of open societies he came to value in his own life." –Paul A. Volcker Financial guru George Soros is one of the most colorful and intriguing figures in the financial world today. Now in Soros on Soros, readers are given their most intimate and revealing look yet into the life and mind of the one BusinessWeek dubbed, "The Man Who Moves Markets." Soros on Soros interweaves financial theory and personal reminiscence, political analysis and moral reflection to offer a compelling portrait of the world (and its markets) according to Soros. In an interview–style narrative with Byron Wien, Managing Director at Morgan Stanley, and with German journalist Krisztina Koenen, Soros vividly describes the genesis of his brilliant financial career and shares his views on investing and global finance, politics and the emerging world order, and the responsibility of power. Speaking with remarkable candor, he traces his progress from Holocaust survivor to philosophy student, unsuccessful tobacco salesman to the world′s most powerful and profitable trader and introduces us to the people and events that helped shape his character and his often controversial views. In describing the investment theories and financial strategies that have made him "a superstar among money managers" (The New York Times), Soros tells the fascinating story of the phenomenally successful Soros Fund Management and its $12 billion flagship, Quantum Fund. He also offers fresh insights into some of his most sensational wins and losses, including a firsthand account of the $1 billion he made going up against the British pound and the fortune he lost speculating on the yen. Plus: Soros′s take on the devaluation of the peso and currency fluctuations internationally. He tells of the personal and professional crises that more than once threatened to destroy him and of the personal resources he drew upon to turn defeat into resounding victory. And he explains his motivations for establishing the Soros Foundation and the Open Society Institute through which he worked to build open societies in postcommunist countries in Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union. Finally, turning his attention to international politics, Soros offers keen insights into the current state of affairs in Russia and the former communist bloc countries and analyzes the reasons behind and likely consequences of the West′s failure to properly integrate them into the free world. He also explores the crisis of the ERM and analyzes the pros and cons of investing in a number of emerging markets. Find out what makes one of the greatest financial wizards of this or any age tick. Soros on Soros is a must read for anyone interested in world finance and international policy.

书友短评：

@ ~(￣︶￣)~ 这本书是对索罗斯的采访汇集而成，是索罗斯系统论述投资、慈善和政治生活的第一手资料。索罗斯早年匈牙利的生活及出逃，我认为很大程度上影响了其日后的反身性理论，反身性理论的精髓在于，人们认知会成为客观环境的一部分，而客观环境又反馈到人们的认知过程当中，因此人们获取的信息以及认知过程都是不完善的，正是这种认知影响环境本身、从而改变已有认知、进而采取行动改变环境，成为反身性的核心。早年的逃亡经历，核心要义是活下来，要求对周边环境极其敏感，某种程度上就是要在认知改变环境之前采取行动，在反身性的拐点来临之前或来临之时，采取行动。 @ 踏雪 这本 跟 The tragedy of European union 里面的思路比alchemy of finance 清晰多了，而且简单易懂明白。看来索罗斯也慢慢学会怎么做一个合格的作者。书里面讲述的reflexivity concept真的很推荐大家看。 里面对the uncertainty principle 和 positive feedback/negative loop 解释十分清晰是书里面的重点。 @ 流浪剑客 有市场经验回头再看这本书就会想起很多自己的经历、方法论、价值观。索老的访谈也反映了他自己的经历和思考，真的是一本hidden gem.这也是一本通向真正理解索罗斯的书。
