^^^ Right there, folks. This is the attitude of the 'useful idiot' (don't take it personally, it's a political term) who buys and promotes the idea that he needs others to think for him.Wow.
So, we have to have people tell us what is best for us, right?
I don't believe he's saying that at all. He's just pointing out how flawed Economics is and he's right. He's also right about today's society. With so much disinformation and the world wide web, one of the downsides is sometimes people have no idea what to think. Especially in a subject that has a grey area and with uncertain things.
Too entrenched in free market ideology? So Soros doesn't understand what a free market is or why this downturn happened. It's a shame actual free market economists were able to predict this recession would happen, whereas the monetarists and Keynesians were caught with their pants down.
Soros is a hedgefunder who bets on economic downturns and makes billions off of it.
This explains why he backed Obama in this last election.
Maybe Soros should re-invent mathematics instead. This way Obama could prove that his massive deficit is actually a surplus. Down is up. Bad is good. Poor is rich.
George Soros, the fund manager, has pledged $50m to back a new think-tank with the mission of reconceiving the field of economics, which he describes as a dogma whose time has passed.
He's completely RIGHT ya' know.
Economics, as fascinated as I am by the nuts and bolts of it, is basically a flawed social science.
At least one of its basic premises is terribly flawed, for example
The premise that people will do what is best for them
People don't do that because they canot understand what is best for them in many cases.
And they generally don't screw up because they're lazy or stupid, but because they cannot KNOW what is best for them given the world that we live in.
We are exposed to so much bleeding propaganda, not only in the news and talk shows, but in the entertainment and advertising we're exposed to, that most people are damned fools.
People, people who have made all the right decisios (according to what they've been told, at last) find themselves screwed in this system.
Who wins most of the time?
Liars hypocrites and gangsters.
Wow.

I loved the WH site, 'transparency' meme, regarding releasing some names. What a hoot!Wow.

Economics is fairly straight forward.
The problem is when you juggle the books thus pushing on us a false result you tend to get disappointed when your plans don't exactly pan out as planned.
But this isn't really a problem when you're using Treasury funds like it's Monopoly money.
The disinformation seems to be coming from the folks in charge. Transparency is declared but never realized. They really don't want us to find out what they're up to.
The latest version of the health care bill was written behind closed doors and everything that was taken out has been re-worded and put back in. Death Panels are back in and now what you can eat such as fast-food will be strictly controlled because Big Macs are unhealthy I suppose.

Soros is one of the greatest investors and traders of all time. He knows more about markets and how they operate than most economists on the planet.
Free market economies work if they are left alone to do so. It is when people start meddling (i.e., government interference) that bad things begin to happen.
There are, in fact, no facts in your entire reply.The fact is that unregulated capitalism leads inevitably to massive contractions of the economy, making the working and poor classes suffer terribly.
Let me share with all of you wingnuts my complete satisfaction that you are going to contribute to the welfare of this country as the health insurance industry is forcefully reformed. The GOP lost the election because it lost, rightfully, the confidence of American voters.
The GOP must come up with a solid conservative program presented by a moderate leader in a calm voice. Sarah and Fred are not those people, while Mitt and Huck may be.

So how do you reconcile this statement with this statement?Soros is one of the greatest investors and traders of all time. He knows more about markets and how they operate than most economists on the planet.
Free markets usually work when they are left alone. But they do not always as the market is often riddled with inadequate information and market power by a few agents, allowing them to extract economic rents from everyone else.

George Soros is the very person you are railing against when you speak out against free markets. After all, if all those who are successful on Wall Street are the true enemies of the bourgeois of America, then Soros is the chief perpetrator, is he not?

I think it's because he is a major contributor to the democratic party. Can't do no wrong when your that.
