It is unfathomable how the country that produced Hayek, "The Road to Serfdom," and Austrian School could give this award to Soros.

Earlier today, George Soros, the chair and founder of the Open Society Foundations, was presented with the globalist (in the worst sense of the term) Joseph A. Schumpeter Award for innovative achievements in the field of business, economics, or economic policy, at a ceremony at the National Bank of Austria, in Vienna.

Austria gave us another “winner”, if you recall. I spit on Austria.
Mr. Soros: Hell awaits you.
It is unfathomable how the country that produced Hayek, "The Road to Serfdom," and Austrian School could give this award to Soros.

Awards to rich people are all about currying favor, not honor. They want money. Also, every conservative organization seems doomed to eventual control by somebody the founders would despise.
They are practicing creative destruction.
Give away enough money and SOMEBODY will present you an award.
Correct. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++1.
Ludwig von Mises too. :)
Long long long overdue for prison imho. A more evil and destructive person would be hard to find anywhere
Sphincter?
There is an award for that?
“creative destruction” — catchy phrase. Didn’t some famous economist once utter those words?
Thereby soiling the name of Schumpeter, who isn’t here to defend himself.
Thanks. Mea culpa. How could I have forgotten Ludwig von Mises?
I see what you did there...
And now, for the award you’ve all been waiting for, the Most Globally Destructive Human on this Planet, .... envelope please.... ohmygaw, I love my life, .... ITS GEORGE SOROS!!
Schumpeter's classic phrase was "creative destruction," to describe the free market's continual renewal of itself through entrepreneurs' competitive improvement of their goods and services to grab new customers--out of nowhere, upending the big dogs in the market.
The foundation has obviously been hijacked by Communists. It would be like Hillary Clinton getting the Mother Teresa Prize.
Soros, he just likes the "destruction" part, as long as it's of someone else's wealth and liberty.
He also titled a book “Capitalism, Socialism, and Democracy” in which he predicted the rise of the likes of Soros, AOC and other parasites on free market success.
Yep. Way out of context for what the prize was established.
And I doubt, for that matter, Alfred Nobel would be pleased that his Peace Prize was given to the likes of Gore and Obama.
Schumpeter would have hated Soros.
I was hoping “Joseph A. Schumpeter Award” was what they named the JDAM that took him out.
