Interesting interview between George Soros and Alan Murray from the Wall Street Journal. My first reaction when viewing it is how good an interviewer Alan Murray is. This is my first exposure to Mr. Murray and I have bookmarked him for future reference.

Now–on to the interview.

Usual George Soros with an emphasis on the Macro picture. His insights on China being the main beneficiary of globalization over the last 20 or so years was compelling (and for me suddenly obvious!) and his thoughts that the recent meltdown in the Western Financial markets was for China a more extraneous event compared to the effect on the developed world was food for thought. I think I might spend more time researching the latter.


Maybe it is just me but I find Soros much easier to understand these days compared to several years ago. I doubt it is because I am smarter so I can only assume that he is making efforts to be better understood. His Alchemy of Finance which I read and reread years ago was torture in some places.

Enjoy!
