Soros cover

Soros

by Michael T. Kaufman

"The first biography of George Soros written with his cooperation - the story of the capitalist genius who has become the leading philanthropist of our time." "We follow Soros from European dislocation to monumental success and riches. Ambition and opportunity drove him to Wall Street, where he arrived in 1956 with five thousand dollars. He became a maverick trader, inventing novel approaches, and soon he was known as "the greatest money manager in the world."". "In his early fifties, restless and having made his fortune, Soros turned to doing good as a primary occupation, showing the same energy, imagination, and courage in spending his money as he had in making it. We learn of his continuing projects all over the world - and in America, where he is seeking to alter attitudes and policies on end-of-life issues, drugs, and education."--BOOK JACKET.
