If George Soros had not become a financier, he might have made a good psychiatrist. Or perhaps he should have been a comedian.
Instead, Soros makes money by trading money. And as we all know by now, he's pretty darn good at it. Soros is always trying to be a philosopher. He fails to realise that he (already) is a philosopher. By mastering the markets, and putting his philosophic leanings into practice, he has become a philosopher of life.
