The New Paradigm for Financial Markets

Abstract

Plato spoke of philosophers becoming kings, but what can one make of a philosopher ruling the financial markets with the bountiful blessing of the tenth muse? George Soros is that rare human being the knight of darkness, who broke the sterling pound in 1992 after impoverishing the Bank of England of one-third of its foreign reserves for an astounding reward of$ 1 billion, is, in intellectual accomplishment and indeed in self-conception, an earnest philosopher.
