George Soros, alumnus of the London School of Economics and Political Science, spoke at his alma mater (and my school, soon) to launch his new book. The lecture can now be watched on the LSE website. The comments were insightful.
Have you heard about the shady businessman George Soros? Some of his contributions include to Barack Obama's campaign, and even to the ACLU. And he's involved in their latest campaign to spread corruption around the US too (via Stop the ACLU):
The American Civil Liberties Union announced by far the largest fundraising campaign in its 88-year history Monday, eying a dramatic expansion of its work
Siamo alle battute conclusive. O quasi. Tramontata, di fatto, l’ipotesi Follieri, all’orizzonte rimane Soros.

Il magnate nato in Ungheria verserebbe, nelle tasche dei proprietari di Italpetroli, 210 milioni di euro circa per acquistare il 67% delle azioni della A.S.

Well, I want to discuss a subject which fascinates me but doesn’t seem to interest others very much.

I have written a book about it which was first published in 1987 under the title The Alchemy of Finance; but it received practically no critical examination. It has been out of print for the last several years but demand has been building up as a result of my increased v
