Review # 2 was written on 2016-09-29 00:00:00 Idris Abdur-rahim A pretty insightful look into the thinking and personality of George Soros. My main take away was that perception is everything in this world and you are at an advantage when you are able to see beyond what the masses see. Soros' theory of refexivity is built on the idea that there exist an gap between reality and perception and perception is really the self reinforcing effect of subjective belief evolving into fact.This to me, seems like be in the realm of Economic Psychology. What's most interesting is that Soros' motivation to make money in investments was due to a desire to write as a philosopher. Along the way he found that he was a better investor than a philosopher and is happy to admit this.
