A good article on George Soros with extra details to help us Americans understand more about his history:
Soros has just committed $10 million of his own money to an effort to drum up support for Democrats in key states, immediately becoming one of the biggest individual donors to next year's electoral race. In September he staged a fundraiser for former Vermont governor Howard Dean. And after years of writing moderate, carefully argued—and not very influential—tracts about the international economy, he is now almost ready to publish a very different kind of work, a book to be called The Bubble of American Supremacy. It's a no- holds- barred attack on what he sees as the hubris of American policy. "I've come to the conclusion," Soros told FORTUNE, "that one can do a lot more about the issues I care about by changing the government than by pushing the issues." In short, he has become the world's angriest billionaire. http://www.fortune.com/fortune/subs/article/0,15114,517653,00.html # distributed via <nettime>: no commercial use without permission # <nettime> is a moderated mailing list for net criticism, # collaborative text filtering and cultural politics of the nets # more info: [EMAIL PROTECTED] and "info nettime-l" in the msg body # archive: http://www.nettime.org contact: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
