"Kirkus Reviews"
"Soros is someone who has made his billions... anticipating the
reaction of markets to ordinary realities, pleasant and
otherwise--so it's well worth paying attention to his views on the
world's financial systems. Not for the faint of heart or the
innumerate. For policy and financial wonks, a bracing
read."Bloomberg "Soros has called himself 'a failed philosopher.'
He's actually a rarer species: A pathologist of market linkages and
psychology -- a man who quickly grasps how an unhealthy growth of
credit here will morph into a morbid bubble there. His diagnoses
are clear, whether he's describing commodity index investing or
former U.S. Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson's flawed plan to
purchase distressed mortgage-backed securities." "New York Journal
of Books"
"The current financial crisis is explained concisely with
eloquence. Understanding what is happening and what is to be done
is reason enough to read Financial Turmoil. . . . Dr. Soros shows
us once again in these essays that he is not only a competent
trader. He is an admirable thinker, and an adept policy analyst. If
we were all as good at political economy as he is there would be no
financial bubbles--and there would probably be less financial
turmoil." "Bloomberg" "This is a compilation of op-ed articles that
the billionaire investor wrote as the euro crisis boiled up. As a
retread, it displays Soros's knack for assessing market linkages
and psychology on the fly." "Malaysia Star" "Every essay is
excellent in brevity and content, attesting to Soros' consummate
skill as a writer and his level of expertise as an investor. The
introduction being the lead-in to a more serious matter is the
best. In an astounding clear prose Soros explains the root of the
crisis, calling it the culmination of a super bubble built since
the 1980s under the reign of Reaganomics and Thatcherism that
advocated for minimal government interference. Soro's recount of
the aftermath of the crisis is by far the
