George Soros, Not an Intellectual Heavyweight

George Soros may have tons of money, but he's definitely not a heavyweight intellectually, as my article "Is Laissez-Faire a Threat to Freedom? An Answer to George Soros" shows. (https://mises.org/library/laissez-faire-threat-freedom-answer-george-soros) 

My answer to Clay Jensen: Soros has an outstanding record for making money through speculation. Economics does not teach how to make money. What it teaches is that those who know how to make money should be free to do so and that their activity will benefit the general public through the offer of new and additional goods and the more efficient production of goods that already exist.

Everyone has a vital interest in fighting socialism. Socialism causes economic chaos, enslavement, terror, and mass murder. For a short proof, see my essay "Marxism/Socialism . . . " available on Amazon in Kindle and paperback formats. For a full proof, see my Capitalism: A Treatise on Economics available on Amazon in Kindle, hardcopy, and 2-volume paperback formats.
