George Soros Lecture Series: Capitalism vs. Open Society
Вставка
- Опубліковано 10 жов 2010
- Open Society Foundations chairman and founder George Soros shares his latest thinking on economics and politics in a five-part lecture series recorded at Central European University, October 26-30, 2009. The lectures are the culmination of a lifetime of practical and philosophical reflection.
Soros discusses his general theory of reflexivity and its application to financial markets, providing insights into the recent financial crisis. The third and fourth lectures examine the concept of open society, which has guided Soros's global philanthropy, as well as the potential for conflict between capitalism and open society. The closing lecture focuses on the way ahead, examining the increasingly important economic and political role that China will play in the future.

He talks about the corruption and self-interest in govn't and how special interests influence by buying the politicians. THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT HE DOES - HE BUYS CANDIDATES THAT WILL SUPPORT HIS VIEWS. He talks about regulation of the commodities/trading markets but OPERATES HIS FUND OFFSHORE AND OUT OF THE REACH OF the SEC/regulations. Listen carefully to his explanation of the game he knows it well and plays it even better!!
George soros has a an NGO dedicated to abolishing authoritarian governments by aiding democratic movements. Is that self serving? Would it rather be self-serving to be in league with Ghadaffi or the saudi monarchy and sift oil revenues?
@Levi I think he is saying what Soros' agenda is.... and it's not pretty.
@@mesafintfanuel3627 Soros supports many NGOs. And everywhere he goes, chaos follows. He doesn't care for democracy... that's a cover. He like to work from behind the scenes and BUY politicians. That is not democracy... listen to his words again... do some research. What did he do in Ukraine?
Soros did more to end the USSR than any non Government actor, i bet you celebrate the fact that the USSR doesn't exist anymore, becuse " muh evil communism". Brain-dead internet experts think they know everything until it comes out that they ppl they hate, they owe their lives to.
@@gninja92 past positive events is no indication of future positive events , or unintended consequences.
Do as I say, not as I do.
Exactly! Because I want to hoodwink you, and steal your hard-earned money right underneath your nose. The cherry on top is making you feel like there's nothing you can do about it, because you are all so dependant on this corrupt system (insert evil laugh)
There you go!..that's it in a nutshell.

You'd think a billionaire could hire an audio tech
😢
One of the 30 biggest billionaires in the world talking against capitalism? Who do you think you're fooling?
Oh right, we should get a right wing nutter like you to explain how you got your billions of dollars.
@E S why not argue against his points instead of name calling?
Absurd. One can be both, and in the presence of the very existence of capitalism, even those who find many moral fault in it are still force to work within the paradigm. Soros has donated 2/3 of the money he has ever made. That is moral and ethical. The ideal would be for all capitalists to be taxed so that everyone is doing their fair share at replenishing the commons that made it possible for them to make the money in the first place. All capitalists rely on stable society, bridges, educated workers, low crime and reliable periods of time to plan on a peaceful society without war threatening their economic opportunity. Clearly, capitalism cannot exist without consumers such that socialism is actually the foundation of the most successful capitalism, thusly Norway are better capitalists specifically BECAUSE they are better socialists.
I guess you had a blackout when he spoke about the agency issue, you seem to like it rather than understand it
The elite don't like competition
I’m going oversimplify this but here it goes. Throughout the first, second, and part of the third piece of his speech I was with the thought, okay, governments, corporations, and populations without morals tend to mess civilization up. I can generally agree with that. But then towards the end he basically says, as a business person he does what he can to make money, but as a citizen he tries to change policy to make it impossible for citizens to make money the way he has made it. In other words, I’ve gotten my piece of the pie now I’m going to work to make it harder, if not illegal, for you to get your piece.
He gives away more then half of his wealth. He realizes it was wrong .
That is Satan
@@kentbennett1352 He says he gives away his money but it is to special groups that are up to no good
@@timmathews803 he buys off corrupt politicians and then sets up societies that fund anti-working class activism.
@@kentbennett1352he gives his money away to groups like BLM who are BURNING DOWN our CITIES - open your eyes!!!
Why is he so interested in the American bill of Rights???
Scary.
he made billions in here already - now he's ready to burn the house down and, at age 91 he's ready to die
Because the US is the largest economy in the world and the breeder of the Great Depression in the 1930s and the 2008 Crash. Are you really scared of him? You should be scared of the Lewis Powell Memorandum written by request of the American Chamber of Commerce during the 1970s - there you'll find why Originalists have been appointed to the Supreme Court. It's not about abortion, it's not about guns - it's about the 1st Amendment and their (the originalist's) understanding that campaign donations and finance regulation and limitations are contrary to the Freedom of Expression.
This is not a cuckoo idea - this is a plan devised by a then future Supreme Court Justice, Lewis Powell, by request of the ACC: a plan on how to get the Justice system to side more often with corporations than with citizen's. Like Tupac used to say (paraphrasing) "these cuckoo ideas are a tool of control for they make people feel too weak to fight".
wtf is wrong with you. clearly a left biased
The irony of advocating for "open societies" when everything he does is for complete control and authority.
My social experiments “Sometimes they work and sometimes they don’t.” This guy is so rich ( from Capitalism/ Democracy) that this is his pass time.
This guy is rich from forcing others into socialism
@@Slimdawgg Wtf are you talking about? He is openly capitalist and anti-communist,
He is a hater of humanity.
He sold out everybody for money, and now he sees the fires of hell ahead of him. Sorry Mr Soros, your heart is too blackened by corruption. There is no prodigal son story for you.
My god the media is at his service, he manipulates what can be said. And he says people are in morally manipulated, and this is 10 years after the speech.
it just started populating or something - i specifically searched for soros
These people use Orwellian newspeak - watch their words and then watch their actions and see if they are the same. A billionaire being against capitalism? 🤔
Well done, hwgv.
This man is a globalist, which is why he wants global socialism, and eventually communism.

He says that communism is interesting but they put their needs above the people's needs but you notice he never mentions Hitler or the nazis
do you know how many lefties do the exact same but opposite?
if anything, communism has more sympathizers and it's safer to be openly communist than openly racist now too. so someone who FINALLY balances things out the other way should be given more leeway, instead of harsher condemnation. Communism, not Nazism is the one with undue sympathy. Nazism's name is in far deeper gutters than Communism is, so have some sense of proportion.
"If you really know what is going on, you don't need to know what is going on to know what is going on" Adam Smith the Money Game. There's a wide gap between perception and reality .
It's harder to work for money then it is to already have tons of money. When your broke you have to do everything yourself and everything costs your time and energy. If your rich enough, you can get people to do everything for you and your money always grows without you having to actaully do things. You don't have to be strong, smart, or even a real business man to be rich. The only requirement to be rich is to have lots of money and to have your name on something valuable so you stay that way... Everyone wants to be able to not worry about money and to be able to live hedonistically, but rich people don't actually benifit society other then by filling the role of ownership, it is always the workers who do everything and keep things going. Money and Ownership isn't actually real. It's all made up and an illusion and simply the basis on, which society forces people to all have jobs rather then allowing everyone to work for themselves or even just be self sufficient.
Needs serious investigation.

Oh really?
44:30 - 45:48
especially 44:58 - 45:48!!!
42:36 what people who call soros evil just don't seem to undestand.
How about this George, and im being serious here, how about you find a piece of land a large piece of land, buy it (not in any exisint country) and make it sovereign, then you find a bunch of like-minded individuals such as yourself and develop the land as you see fit and have your open society and run it for a while to see how it works? if it doesn't pan out too well then you learned something, and repeat, keep doing this until you find something that works, but playing with peoples lives to get to your end goal of implementing this into a capitalist society, I think is evil
Having his own country with like minded people wouldn't do it for him. If he's the only one who's right about everything, then everyone should think like him. If not, then he'll mess it up on you.
Well put.
You better say in the land you buy with like minded people work the soil plant trees, cultivate grains and eat, survive from the “FRUITS” of your labor not by “stealing” the labor of others in financial markets. WORK BUILDS CHARACHTER not YOUR WORDS... show us your TRUE vitality, your true worth as a human... build something with your hands but do not live on other peoples Blood by sucking others SWEAT & BLOOD..... And I didn’t get it from any Nazi ideology but by looking at these “people” actions “ legalized theft”.
The less evil concept makes people lose the moral judgement.
Open society = one world government
@@JinjaOnHere what if that one world government wants you to not exist ? You gonna take one for the team ?
Yeah anything with foundation attached to it is a guaranteed threat to freedoms, liberties, and open real open societies! Always shadowing everything with something that sounds positive while they work their wicked magic in the background.
@@victorseger6044 he probably would. Some people are really that stupid.
As it should be.

It got hijacked by the feminist and other kinds of socialist .
If someone tell me to hate someone... I always seek out as much information as possible! He doesn’t believe in God! That tells me all I need to know!
What values?
An open society will not exempt the politician. An open society only gives a few politicians the keys to the whole world at the cost of human freedom.
does it sound like a clear set of arguments of a coherent thinker?
agency problem?? what does it means ? i don't understand, wich agencies?
Instead of focusing on how social values should influence market value and vice versa and subjectively define the rules of conduct, you should focus on a system that as whole would autonomously results in both values optimally.
I beg to differ there is no constitutional rights left where i live in oregon. Precious thought though. People think it is a joke here
His day is right around the corner.
yes. All these lunatic authoritarians think they'll live forever lol.
Why did he get so excited when he said " the trouble is special interests also seek to disguise themselves as protectors of the public interest and it takes a discerning eye to distinguish between the genuine and the phoney"
He has a sense of humor about himself.
Eyes wide shut is how he sees us, The man is mad and never experienced Love I feel sorry for Him. He wants to punish The World for causing his misery.
Why doen't you give the timestamp when you find a gem like this?

@@george_carlos Thank you.
George is 91. How many more days do you think he has before he meets his Maker??
I love Soros's ideas and honesty. Tho I must say that I think he underestimates the damage refugee crisis has on european democracy and unity of EU.
We must recognize that refugee immigration has completely changed in last five decades. Since wealth, technology and social security have increased tremendously in Europe, we cannot have uncontrolled immigration and naively hope that our western values will remain intact.
As your mentor Karl Popper said that "Less well known is the paradox of tolerance: Unlimited tolerance must lead to the disappearance of tolerance. If we extend unlimited tolerance even to those who are intolerant, if we are not prepared to defend a tolerant society against the onslaught of the intolerant, then the tolerant will be destroyed, and tolerance with them."
Because modern immigration is additionally caused by greed and hatred of west, countries where intolerance is virtue will use immigration as means to fulfill their function. We must recognize that (sadly) refugee crisis is a massive act of intolerance, but not from "nationalists" but refugees themselves
TehRasia honestly says bend over
He's the cause of it ....
very deep ...... beyond thoughts
Some say he acquired an interest-free loan from a bank that he worked for which helped start his hedge fund and it's well known that they don't charge one another interest. How many can get an interest-free loan. Not many.
Well if you are in bed with the Rothschilds you can have whatever you want.
@@wizzledizzle3129 I've been wondering about this as well, but it's certainly to do with what circles one moves in and not just what you know, although it depends on what you know.

@@wizzledizzle3129 That's what I meant by 'with what circles one moves in' - but what you know is also important. I've known many educated people who didn't have a clue about much of this.

Lecture 4 of 5
Funny how it's always the Uber rich telling others profit is bad, tax the rich, and redistribute others wealth.
Intra-paradigm .....so smart. George is a bubble within a bubble, who, by luck, made a lot of money in the Fiat market....thus has credibility. He totally ignores that Fiat is what disrupts the market. Namely, Fiat money. If people are inheritanly evil then they need not others evil to be determinant. If people are good.....they need not rulers.
Open Society is all capitalism if anything its goal is to protect human rights that extend over to commercial/property rights.
It is not capitalism because it advocates crime, monopol, corruption and abuse and control of the market. You know nothing. A puppet of Soros.
35:30 extreme political views are America's social and governmental problems.
Most Americans disagree with universal healthcare bco apart of our social identity is WORKING. Ppl should draw their benefits from gainful employment, not free healthcare by the simple virtue of being poor. There is medicaid/medicare for the truly indigent. I can see how corporations would lobby to push that financial burden on middle class taxpayers while they slide through loopholes. And I can see the money train for insurance companies who gorge mandatory insurance on citizens while doing the least. You dont work, you dont eat. Period.
This is ridiculous who wants an *8 thousand dollar deductible* ? You do obviously but *you are not other people.*
Here's the facts on Medicare for all: *70% of Americans want it*
thehill.com/hilltv/what-americas-thinking/412545-70-percent-of-americans-support-medicare-for-all-health-care
What is perverse is an economic system where risk is not shared. It is also against the religion which everyone knows and the fact they will practice this on some and not others is an act of economic war.
and government is the biggest vehicle of offloading risks from politicians to citizens.
GEORGE YOU NEED TO READ RICARDO SEMLERS BOOK MAVERICK--

I think Open Society is a misnomer. i believe it only means open at the bottom .In so doing the top becomes more isolated and powerful. See economic incentives. Elites are keen to human nature and its inevitable liabilities as a result of competition, overcrowding, even under the most controlled conditions. The range in temperament, intelligence, refinement, en masse would be most beneficial to elites in taking steps backwards while powerful elites take steps to advance and widen the gap between success and failure within the context of natural ability and status. Hence,Open Society doesn't mean we are getting freer or more advanced per se. Quite the contrary. Its allure is the example of the bubble, its value as an ideal, and its inevitable burst ( and equilibrium, to give him the benefit of the doubt) at the expense of consumers. His revenge against Anglo supremacy and establishment of Jewish dominance is complete.
Specifically, what has this man done (that has been _proven_) to make everybody hate him so much?
+ Gmail User If by the "visible hand" you are referring to the economic concept mentioned by George Soros in his lecture series: the "invisible hand" is a fundamental principle behind modern economics today. It refers to the concept of individual's attempts to maximize their own gains leads to the optimal allocation of resources which is better for us all. The "visible hand" is not a principle in economic theory at least that I have ever heard of and I think you might have misheard George Soros. Just in-case you got it confused ;).
Possible, however this is a lecture on economics and the invisible hand theory is one of the most basic theories in economics.
He committed the crime of being Liberal, and giving billions to charity, and Liberals, so the right wing had to demonize him, and it works, either they know the truth and are trolls, or they only read right wing news and believe it.
They don't have shit, just anti-Semites. Most of these youtubers haven't gone to highschool and believe all the bullshit infowars spews.
Daniel, Open society is open to the others such as homosexuals, womens rights, foreigners, people of color, etc which Christian fundamentalists and fascists hate. He is also is for regulated markets which many American oligarchs hate as they want unbridled freedom to do as they please as they believe markets are self regulating. His stance on human rights have authoritarians enraged.
I'm asking native English speaking guys (I'm Hungarian). Does George Soros have strong Hungarian accent according to you? It's just weird for me, cause he's been living in the USA since 1956, and from 1947 (17 years old) to 1956 he lived in the UK, so I really dont understand why he still has accent at all.
And on the other hand search for "Andrea Osvart on Craig Ferguson". That girl has perfect American pronunciation while he spent there very few time...
Tamás Heizler, Yes. He has a very strong foreign accent. Not only that, but sometimes even fails to speak correctly. I keep asking myself if that, is ALSO, fake.
Had to miss the $oros lecture cuz I already had tickets to the Hitler lecture.
When you touch the moneny so you do not but the second one infcet you
everything belongs to you you can take anything super genialne
He knows the game and have the money to play the game which is to buy people. He knew the root of the problem that people can be bought. Politicians, government agent as well as business players can be bought if your price is right. The different forms of government only invites different ways to play the game. When will he stop 100 bill 200 bill 300 bill. Never.
He makes a valid argument that capitalism is not perfect and talks about reasons. He sounds like he wants to improve current economic system not destroy it. But he gives money to far left!!! They want to destroy it!

Ok I have come on here to look at this man for myself! People often say I would like to speak to Einstein Beethoven and so on. I would like to speak to him and try and understand who this man really is. But I’m just a number in the masses. See if I can have my mind changed on here. Not sure how it will go.

Insightful
I want to know if there are differences in social classes in open society?
Two classes: the very rich and powerful who are in total control, coordinated across the globe, and the worker bees who are forced to suffer under them. If you think we have flawed Rights now, just wait until you have none. None. It's a dangerous game, and We are the ones who suffer. No middle class, just rulers and slaves. I've studied this, and him. He's just plain evil.

Society will be always jealous about this wonderful people like him
He might be evil but he is right about capitalism
@@markoprskalo6127 he's not evil! not an angel , but not evil
He is so right about the lobbists. The problem is basically the money exchange in the first place. As long as we must have a value system like this all forms of government will eventually come to the same point. The greedy and power hungry will always have gross advantage over the society. The reason we have the constraints on business is due to the fact that even when employers can afford to provide safe work environments, employ equally those who qualify for a job, and work to pay for the necessities of life..but, employers were horrible to employees, thus government grew. And now we may be faced with WWIII and the end of everything.

I don’t disagree with anything Soros says regarding the agency problem…however, it is well established that he is also a participant in the system yet unlike everyone else he seems to believes that he is not corruptible, and that his actions are noble. When it comes to narcissism, I don’t see much daylight between him and Trump.
