 After the collapse 1 of the Soviet 2 entire the United States emerged as the sole superpower. No other power, or the combination of powers, could challenge it's supremacy 3. But the unipolar world did not take root. When President Bush sought to assert America's supremacy by invading Iraq on false pretences 4 he achieved the exact opposite of what he intended. The United States suffered a precipitous decline in its power and influence. So the disarray 5 in the international financial system is matched by instability in international relations. The new order that will eventually emerge will not be dominated by the United States to the same extent as the old one.


前苏联解体后,美国成为了唯一的超级大国,没有其他大国或者国家联盟可以挑战其至高无上的国力,但是这种“单极”的世界秩序未能持久。当布什总统为彰显美国的威力以不实之词为借口入侵伊拉克时,其效果与他的意图适得其反。美国的力量和影响力一落千丈,结果混乱的国际金融体系加之不稳定的国际关系形成了。此后,终将形成新的世界秩序,将不会再像以往那样受美国的控制和左右。
To understand what is happening we need a different conceptual framework from the one to which we have been accustomed. The efficient market hypothesis looks at financial markets in isolation 6 and totally disregards politics. But that gives a distorted picture. As I have pointed 7 out several times, behind the invisible hand of markets there is the visible hand of politics which establishes the rules and conditions in which the market mechanism 8 operates. My conceptual framework relates to the political economy, not the market economy as an abstract construct that is governed by timelessly valid 9 laws. I look at financial markets as a branch of history.
为了便于理解什么正在发生,我们需要一个有别于惯性思维的概念性框架。有效的市场假说孤立地看待金融市场,完全无视政治因素,但这扭曲了现实。正如我多次提到的那样,在市场无形的手背后有一只有形的政治之手,它制定有关市场运作的各种法律法规。我所说的概念性框架与政治经济学有关,而与抽象概念的市场经济学无关。我把金融市场视作历史的一个分支。

【1930年】,乔治·索罗斯出生在匈牙利布达佩斯一个富裕的犹太家庭,一直到1946年都在匈牙利生活。父亲是一名律师,性格坚毅,处事精明,他对索罗斯的影响是巨大而深远的。不仅教会了索罗斯要自尊自重、坚强自信,而且从小教育索罗斯,用一种平和的态度对待财富,而索罗斯在以后的生活中,也实践了父亲的教诲,将亿万家财都投入到慈善事业中。
童年时代的索罗斯在各方面都表现突出,是各种活动的常胜将军。父母的宠爱,家境的优越,自身的出色,他是天之骄子,让人羡慕。但这种生活没过多久就被打破了。
【1944年】,随着纳粹对布达佩斯的侵略,索罗斯的幸福童年就宣告结束了,随全家开始了逃亡生涯。那是一段充满危险和痛苦的岁月,靠着父亲的精明和坚强,凭借假身份证和好心人提供的庇护,他们一家终于躲过了那场劫难。
后来索罗斯说,1944年是他生活中最快乐的一段时光,他从生死危难中学会了生存的技巧,这其中的两条经验对他此后的投机生涯很有帮助,第一是不要害怕冒险,第二是冒险时不要押上全部家当。
