In this title, George Soros along with renowned writers and
activists illuminate and reflect upon Soros'' vision and practice of
philanthropy, explaining why, and how, he has given away billions
of dollars to better the world. George Soros is one of the richest
men in the world - his net worth is $11 billion, who made his money
as an incredibly shrewd speculator and investor. In his lifetime,
he has given away $6 billion. In 1984, the seeds of George Soros''
Open Society Institute were sown in Eastern and Central Europe, and
in the former Soviet Union when he established foundations to aid
countries as they shifted out of communism. Twenty-five years on,
the Open Society Institute operates foundations in sixty countries
throughout the world, in an effort to ''build vibrant and tolerant
democracies whose governments are accountable to their citizens''.
In "George Soros on Philanthropy", George Soros reveals his driving
vision for the Open Society, reflects on how he became a
philanthropist, and discusses the groundbreaking work of his
foundation as well as his plans for its future. Nine prominent
journalists chronicle instructive case-studies of the Foundation''s
work, highlighting its successes and failures, and lending insight
into its capacity to strengthen societies. From investigating the
feasibility of international justice in Africa, to examining to the
extent to which wealth-transparency stands to improve the lives of
those in the poorest nations, "George Soros on Philanthropy" is a
landmark contribution from one of the preeminent philanthropists of
our time, and a valuable resource for better understanding the
power and practice of philanthropy.
