I don't use my money to gain political influence for my private interests, which is what many rich people do, and what, in a sense, market fundamentalism does, because it is in the interests of people who have a lot of money to have as little taxes as possible.

However, even a strong government can't perform miracles. It needs money from the taxpayers.

The assumption of perfect knowledge is very far from reality ... a lot of the evil in the world is actually not intentional.

My main concern is with the world order

It is credit that matters, not money (in other words, monetarism is a false ideology).

Stock market bubbles don't grow out of thin air. They have a solid basis in reality, but reality as distorted by a misconception.

Although I have made a fortune in the financial markets, I now fear that the untrammeled intensification of laissez-faire capitalism and the spread of market values into all areas of life is endangering our open and democratic society. The main enemy of the open society, I believe, is no longer the communist but the capitalist threat.
