It should be pointed out that in helping crack the pound, Soros did the British economy a big favor. The UK went into the European exchange rate mechanism at a very high value, following the Economist's advice at the time that it should be a level that would make the Confederation of British Industry "scream." This was supposed to impose discipline on a flabby manufacturing sector. Instead, it deepened and lengthened the early 90s recession by savaging exports. Once the pound fell to a reasonable level, the British economy recovered - though the Conservative Party never recovered.
