George Soros appears in conversation with Google CEO Eric Schmidt. This event took place on Auguest 9, 2006, at Google's headquarters in Mountain View, CA.

of note:

• Soros uses OSF to fund intellectuals & universities

• Post 911 the open society (as Soros understands it) is in danger in US – bubble of American supremacy

• CANT BASE DECISIONS ON INFO ALONE – have to introduce JUDGEMENT & BIAS – idea that could base decisions on KNOWLEDGE is a FALICY

• US as sole super power has obligation to strengthen international organizations and have to be concerned w/ welfare of world not just its own citizens

• His #1 example was climate change of course

• Right wing theory = Nazi propaganda machine

• Promote open society everywhere and his example of success was South Africa that has only ONE DOMINANT PARTY that could change the constitution but its functioning open society because independent judiciary and civil society holding govt accountable [fast fwd 10 yrs]

• Society CANT BE SELF ORGANIZING – GOVT HAS TO LEAD

• Free markets would collapse w/o GOVT REGULATIONS

• His philanthropy is to INFLUENCE THE WAY GOVT SPENDS PUBLIC MONEY [ie bribe politicians to waste taxes on
