Customer Reviews
narrator sounds like a robot
I believe the book is okay, I've read the first couple of chapters in the bookstore. But, actually, this narrator sounds like a computer program, and that distracts from the information, whether you agree with it or not. It matters when you listen to an audiobook and feel like you are inside of a space pod.
Informative and Affordable, Thanks, Worth the Thinking it Can Inspire
Other people comment on Soros being a Nazi. If you did your homework! you would see that Soros has had his own family members in the concentration camps as well, and not because they were Jewish. The current pharmaceutical companies are all descendent of Nazi money and intent, G Bush Sr and family... have traceable funds going back to the horrors of Nazi Germany even up till today continuing some of the practices right under our noses because we blind ourselves with our own prejudices and even partake willingly and ignorantly, today. So yes, please do your research and remove your prejudice no matter what side you think you are really on. Now, as far as the audiobook itself, it is informative, affordable, the reader a bit droll, but tell me, who on this earth can make financial facts sound sound exciting? Rarely. So pretend you are at a Harvard Economics class, buck up, listen and be glad it is only 3.95 and think freely and critically. This free and critical thinking is the spirit of Soros and of America... not just agreement! May the result of listening do your pocketbook some good for your family, friends and community.
Interesting book on financial markets
For this price, it was a privilege to listen to a smart and accomplished individual expound on his theories of economics and philosophy. Very interesting.
The reader (or narrator, if that is what we call them) was fine.
As a sidenote: Soros only tangentially touches on politics in this book. It is about economics, the market, financial bubbles, boom-bust cycles, etc.
