Excellent summary.

After reading the whole article, I was exhausted from all the slogging thru fundamental misconceptions.

Soros simply does not recognize the role of religion -- and its impact on ethics and morality. Whether it's Judeo-Christian capitalism...or Buddhist capitalism...or Hindu capitalism...or Shinto capitalism, etc....it is the religion that is expected to inform our morality and ethics. Not the economic system.

Capitalism, by itself, is only an economic system -- which happens to be the most efficient means of organizing an economy for the betterment of all. Which, when you stop and think about it, is a pretty moral outcome...

Soros is a capitalist giant. And a moral midget. He has no business projecting himself on the rest of us.

It wore me out too. It was like watching a dog chase his tail. Soros is trying to square a circle and it just won't work. He rejects the notion of self-evident truth but is fixated on his notion of the open society as though its truth is self evident. He seems to be aware of the contradiction but doesn't have a way to resolve it.
