Requests:  0 Summary:  George Soros--universally known for his philanthropy, progressive politics, and investment success--has been under sustained attack from the far right, nationalists, and anti-Semites in the United States and around the world because of his commitment to open society and liberal democracy. In this brilliant and spirited book, Soros brings together a vital collection of his writings, some never previously published. They deal with a wide range of important and timely topics: the dangers that the instruments of control produced by artificial intelligence and machine learning pose to open societies; what Soros calls his "political philanthropy"; his founding of the Central European University, one of the world's foremost defender of academic freedom; his philosophy; his boom/bust theory of financial markets and its policy implications; and what he calls the tragedy of the European Union. Soros's forceful affirmation of freedom, democracy, the rule of law, human rights, social justice, and social responsibility as a universal idea is a clarion call-to-arms for the ideals of open society.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Social Science & Philosophy 320.51092 So Checked In Add Copy to MyList Makawao Public Library Adult Nonfiction 320.51092 So Checked In Add Copy to MyList Manoa Public Library Adult Nonfiction 320.51092 So Checked In Add Copy to MyList McCully-Moiliili Public Library Adult Nonfiction 320.51092 So withdrawn Add Copy to MyList Pearl City Public Library Adult Nonfiction 320.51092 So Checked In Add Copy to MyList Wahiawa Public Library Adult Nonfiction 320.51092 So Checked In Add Copy to MyList Waialua Public Library Adult Nonfiction 320.51092 So Checked In Add Copy to MyList Waipahu Public Library Adult Nonfiction 320.51092 So Checked In Add Copy to MyList
