-clip- He's (Soros's) been in and out of a million things over what, 30 or 40 years. Despite his politics he's a god on Wall Street because he's made so much money. His underlying strategy, which he wrote up in quasi-Hegelese in his theoretical work the Alchemy of Finance, is to bet against extremes in psychology. That makes him, like Keynes, another of those liberals who gets rich betting against the mob.

^^^^^^

CB: Isn't Soros a follower of Karl Popper who wrote critically of Hegel ? That would make the quasi-Hegelese a twist. I guess S is an eclectic, OPENminded. Is he a "contrarian" or is that different ? Contrariness is sort of Hegelly too. Seems his finance theory has been verified , not falsified.
