About the author
George Soros is a Hungarian-American investor and philanthropist and chair of Soros Fund Management. Born in Budapest in 1930, he survived the Nazi occupation, studied philosophy at the London School of Economics and in 1969 started the hedge fund that became the Quantum Fund. His short bet against sterling in the 1992 Black Wednesday crisis made about $1 billion. His theory of reflexivity explains how investors' views can feed back into prices. He founded the Open Society Foundations.
