His new book is The Age of Fallibility: Consequences of The War on Terror. Soros is a multibillionaire (his worth has been estimated at over $7 billion) who has directed his philanthropic efforts toward defeating George W Bush in 2004 (he gave $5 million to MoveOn.org), overthrowing communism in Eastern Europe, helping black students attend university in apartheid South Africa, and repealing drug prohibition laws internationally. Soros is also a philosopher. His previous books include The Bubble of American Supremacy and The Alchemy of Finance.
