Don’t Blame Brazil

• Financial Times
• August 13, 2002

The International Monetary Fund’s $30bn rescue package for Brazil was larger than expected, and should have brought relief to the markets. But it did not. After an initial rally, bond interest rates have settled at levels incompatible with long-term solvency. The country’s benchmark C bonds yield about 22 percent in dollar terms.

Man didelė garbė šį vakarą kreiptis į jus. Visą gyvenimą stengiausi suprasti pasaulį, ​​kuriame​​ gimiau, ir galiu ​​kukliai​​ teigti, kad man tai pavyko. Gana anksti suvokiau, kad mūsų supratimas iš prigimties netobulas. Taip yra todėl, kad visi esame šio pasaulio dalis.

Het is mij een geweldige eer om hier deze avond te mogen spreken. Ik heb mijn hele leven geprobeerd de wereld om mij heen te begrijpen en ben daarin tot op zekere hoogte geslaagd. Op vrij jonge leeftijd besefte ik dat ons inzicht per definitie onvolmaakt is.

• February 16, 2023

Sunt extrem de onorat să mă aflu în fața dvs. în această seară. Mi-am petrecut toată viața încercând să înțeleg lumea în care m-am născut și pot să mă laud cu un oarecare succes în această privință. La o vârstă relativ fragedă, mi-am dat seama că înțelegerea este în mod inerent imperfectă.

Opaske iznesene na Sigurnosnoj konferenciji u Münchenu 2023

• February 16, 2023

Velika mi je čast što Vam se večeras obraćam. Cijeli sam život proveo pokušavajući razumjeti svijet u kojem sam rođen i mogu reći da sam postigao skroman uspjeh. Relativno sam rano shvatio da je naše razumijevanje prirođeno nesavršeno. Razlog tome jest što smo dio svijeta u kojem živimo te smo istovremeno smo sudionici i promatrači.

Soros György beszéde a 2023-as Müncheni Biztonságpolitikai Konferencián

• February 16, 2023

Egész életemet azzal töltöttem, hogy megpróbáltam megérteni a világot, amelybe beleszülettem, és ezzel kapcsolatban némi szerény sikert könyvelhetek el. Viszonylag korán rájöttem, eleve tökéletlen az, ahogy a világot értelmezzük. Ez azért van így, mert részei vagyunk annak a világnak, amelyben élünk.

Remarks Delivered at the 2023 Munich Security Conference

I feel greatly honored to be addressing you this evening. I’ve spent my entire life trying to understand the world I was born into, and I can claim some modest success. At a relatively early age I realized that our understanding is inherently imperfect.

We live at a transformational moment in history. The survival of open societies is endangered and we face an even greater crisis: climate change. It is threatening the survival of our civilization. These twin challenges have inspired me to announce the most important project of my life here tonight.

Thank you for the generous introduction. It gives me great pleasure to accept this prize. I feel very honored to join the distinguished ranks of past recipients.

By Failing to Help Refugees Europe Fails Itself

• Financial Times
• July 27, 2015

As many as 400,000 people will make dangerous journeys to reach Europe this year, about half of them fleeing the civil war in Syria or brutal government repression in Eritrea. By the time they reach the west, they will have had to risk their lives twice: once in fleeing their countries, and again in entering ours.
