I follow the news and I have been hearing the name of George Soros mentioned with extream liberal causes and I wonder how many people know who he is and what his philosophy is and why he supports the extream left.

Soros is an amazing genious, especially in the world of high-finance. He skillfully managed to make $1 billion for himself when the British pound collapsed. He is also a great philanthropist who does more than just give out money to endowments. He actively supports open societies in parts of the world which are very closed.
You have to admire a man like Soros. He was born a Hungarian Jew, survived the Nazi era and went on to make himself and quite a few others rich through learning how to play financial markets. Unlike Buffet who plays safer equities, SOros actually goes for the risky stuff like derivatives
