In recent years, George Soros has become the focus of sustained right-wing attacks based on his commitment to open society, progressive politics, and his Jewish background. In this book, Soros offers a compendium of his philosophy, a clarion call-to-arms for the ideals of an open society: freedom, democracy, rule of law, human rights, social justice, and social responsibility as a universal idea. He gives an impassioned defense of his core belief in an open society.
