      A fabulous investor, Soros is also a remarkably accessible teacher. He tells you he's really a philosopher who finds more pleasure in his abstractions than in making money, and he knows how to make his abstractions impressively clear. You hear them and, right away, the light goes on. It's also fascinating to hear Soros tell us that his relationships with people suffered when he was fully connected to the market and that he relied on backaches to direct his attention to impending market problems. Read by a pro, this is content that will inform admirers of Soros's achievements and fascinate people interested in Soros as an individual. T.W. (c) AudioFile 2001, Portland, Maine

      Soros, who manages the Quantum mutual fund based in Venezuela, here traces the fund's performance in a controlled experiment using leverage in many markets (stocks, bonds, indexes, currency, etc.), to test the Reaganomics "imperial circle'' and to demonstrate his own economic theory of ``reflexivity.'' It is investors' perception of market values, claims the author, which perpetuates up-or-down price trends, foreign exchange movements, periodic government regulation, and so on. The most studious investment calculations, he concedes, are in the end more alchemy than science. As to such problems as the massive U.S. domestic and trade deficits and the Damoclean Third World debt, Soros offers innovative suggestions, including an international oil-based currency and a system of variable interest-rate bonds keyed to the volume of a borrower country's export trade.
