George Soros - Em Defesa de uma Sociedade Aberta

What does it mean to defend democracy today? What dangers does the rule of law face?

George Soros, known for his philanthropy, progressive politics, and investment success, believes that the freedom and values ​​of open societies are under serious threat. In the US, Great Britain, Italy, and Hungary, among other countries, populism is growing. In China, the government monitors society almost completely. And Europe watches impassively what is happening. Through his network of Open Society Foundations, the author actively combats this scenario in more than one hundred countries.

In this book, he brings together a collection of vitally important writings, some of which are unpublished. In them, he describes his journey from investor to philanthropist, shares his opinions on the latest political developments in Europe, the financial crisis in the US, his philosophy inspired by his mentor Karl Popper, and what he calls the tragedy of the European Union. The vision that George Soros offers us is that of someone who knows he is the quintessential public enemy of populist governments around the world. And also of someone who sees the democratic achievements of the West at risk. His ardent defense of freedom, democracy, the rule of law, human rights, social justice, and social responsibility as a universal ideal is a wake-up call to protect the ideals of an open society.
