The Philanthropy of George Soros Building

Soros is celebrated for his brilliant financial and economic insights, but his contribution to philanthropy is equally impressive. This work reveals the thinking and practice that drives a lesser-known aspect of this man's life, his goals for society, and his philosophy.

George Soros is chairman of Soros Fund Management and is the founder of a global network of foundations dedicated to supporting open societies. He is the author of many bestselling books, most recently The New Paradigm for Financial Markets. He was born in Budapest and lives in New York.
