About the book
George Soros, one of the greatest investors of the 20th century, reveals his philosophy of speculation and investment in this seminal book. He develops the concept of "reflexivity" — the idea that market participants' perceptions actively influence prices, creating a feedback loop.
Quite technical and philosophical, the book combines economic theory with anecdotes from real trades. Soros shares his approach to identifying market bubbles and seizing extraordinary opportunities, offering insights that go beyond conventional investing.
