Yes, yes, but the parent commenter is right in spirit. Soros is richer than god, so he's working to satisfy other ambitions now. From the economist article mentioned below: The 77-year-old hedge-fund supremo and slayer of sterling has nothing to prove financially (he is worth upwards of $8 billion). Intellectually, however, he has long been frustrated at not being taken seriously. Just as he was about to give up, along came a debacle that, he believes, validates his Weltanschauung. That fits pretty well with the carefully hidden acknowledgement that this isn't news: And yet this is not the first time that Mr. Soros has prophesied doom. In 1998, he published a book predicting a global economic collapse that never came. This article is about two things: the general hysteria of a generation of workers who have never seen a real recession; and a rich man in his final years trying to leverage his wealth into a legacy. They're both pandering. Economist article here: http://www.economist.com/finance/displaystory.cfm?story_id=10992042 http://www.economist.com/finance/displaystory.cfm?story_id=1...
