“Once we realise that imperfect understanding is the human condition there is no shame in being wrong, only in failing to correct our mistakes.”
George Soros – the maverick speculator and self-made billionaire - has remained undaunted and unstoppable over the years. He immigrated to the US in 1956, after escaping the Nazis and growing up in Budapest. It was in the United States that he founded an offshore investment fund that has achieved enormous global success.
But Soros is also renowned for his dedicated philanthropy, and his fierce promotion of new ideas and different modes of political and social thinking. Never afraid to break the rules of convention, he is passionate about encouraging others to break their boundaries and redefine their situations.
