I think the poker analogy is a better one.
Two parties took a bet, as in a poker game. They each though they were doing the right thing. Turns out, one of them had a winning hand and one of them didn't.
But since everyone knew the nature of the game, and everyone knew they were making bets, why is it unethical?
Really, I would think more anger should be placed on the politicians who got monetary policy so drastically wrong. Or maybe anger is wrong - maybe I should say "learn from this". Because heaping anger on someone who outplayed you is a great way to mask the fact that you need to learn.
- fabulist 12y agoIts not that I think Soros should be "blamed" per say, it just doesn't speak highly of his character. He put profits before the wellbeing of the British people. Clearly he doesn't feel an ethical obligation to them. I would have. But you're right. Judging Soros gets us nowhere, drawing lessons from this does.
