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.
The award was presented by Ewald Nowotny, the bank’s governor and president of the Vienna Schumpeter Society, who cited Soros’s “commitment to freedom and the promotion of the pursuit of knowledge.”
“We are honoring George Soros with the Schumpeter Prize for making the world more open, more just and more equitable for all,” he said.
Past insider globalist recipients of the award have included former German chancellor Helmut Kohl, the former president of the European Commission Romano Prodi, and current president of the European Central Bank Mario Draghi.
“It is a great honor to receive this award, because I have always been a great admirer of Schumpeter’s thinking,” Soros said. “I am also personally heartened to be so warmly received in Vienna, which has become the new home of the Central European University. I trust the CEU, with its focus on the social sciences, will contribute to the great intellectual life of this city, in the tradition of Schumpeter and so many others.”
