With insightful analysis, Soros contends that the unchecked influence of financial markets and the pursuit of short-term gains have eroded the foundations of a stable and equitable society. He proposes a comprehensive set of reforms to counter this crisis, emphasizing the need for a new framework that prioritizes the long-term well-being of both individuals and communities.
