  He speaks like he is reading. I wonder if he can actually recite his book from memory. No, &apos;um&apos;, &apos;ah&apos;, &apos;listen&apos;, &apos;look&apos;. No backtracking. Starts with a thesis statement sticks to it, concludes it, starts a new paragraph. It&apos;s amazing, actually.

  His views, in my opinion, don&apos;t replace economics or finance, but they are still a very valuable explanation of why financial markets create bubbles and why both speculators and markets fail

  Points covered by George: Efficient market hypothesis is a failing philosophy that should not be used to construct the financial market in the first place. With application of EMH we will have financial crisis. So, the remedies proposed by George Soros: authority not only control monetary supply &nbsp;but also credit availability; regulations on derivatives and synthetic securities and so on; authority intervention on financial market whenever necessary; design a set of specific regulation targeting &quot;too big to fail&quot; bank; the risk rating on securities held by banks should not be low; imbalances from the positions taken by investors should be mitigated

  Most folks commenting here clearly do not have the intellectual background to comprehend what is being argued, so they must resort to violent wishes and obscenities. &nbsp;As Shakespeare said: &quot;I would challenge you to a battle of wits; but I see you are unarmed.&quot;

  His questions are pretty easily answered outside the economic goggles. And yes you are right Mr. Soros
