Recommendation

George Soros is a fascinating personality. As one of the greatest investors in history, he is worth studying for his investment ideas alone. But Soros has never dwelled on his incredible trading success or his astounding income. Instead, he has sought recognition for his worldwide philanthropies. Robert Slater intelligently presents the story of this complicated, controversial and quick-witted billionaire. His account includes details about Soros’s investment strategies and achievements, as well as his vast philanthropic projects. getAbstract considers this an intriguing biography of one of the century’s most interesting investors and social philosophers – a remarkably complex self-made man.

Take-Aways

  • George Soros may be the best investor in history.
  • As a boy, he survived the Nazi occupation of Hungary by using false identity papers.
  • Soros arrived in New York in 1956 and started his Quantum Fund in 1969.
