The idea behind the blog is to share the stories of how we run the business, the deals we make, the deals that break, the heartburn, and the sheer joy.

New book from George Soros

One of the world's most well-known billionaires - George Soros - is at it again. His latest book "The Age of Fallibility - Consequences of the War on Terror" is out now, and the Forbes' review of the book states that "...Soros lays out the intellectual method taught to him by philosopher Karl Popper. It all begins by admitting that human knowledge of reality is imperfect." The review concludes with "This is a book about how we think, and it's worth consideration by all sides."

Soros supports and funds a number of charities, and is also a critic of laissez-faire capitalism and certain aspects of globalization. The main crux of the book is that we must accept that there are limitations to our knowledge and understanding of how the world works. And this is what needs to drive our humility when analyzing problems. This directly results in strong criticism of the Iraq war and much of Bush's foreign policy post 9-11.
