Selene Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 "Glenn Beck has everyone trained to see a monster in George Soros, but at Cato yesterday he actually offered an interesting take on macro-economics and where human psychology fits into the story. I’m not saying he’s right, but he’s not stupid. Kudos to Cato for engaging the man at the level of his ideas, rather than caricature."Soros spoke at Cato Why I agree with (some of) Friedrich Hayek Read more: http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0411/53885.html#ixzz1L6ww50M2I do not know if there is video of the speech available, it was given on April 28, 2011.

I guess I was rushing.It is interesting that Cato would have him speak -- but it makes sense when you realize he was one of the men on the panel who knew Hayek (and Popper) and he has a certain influence. Rather than demonize him and his shadow party, Cato puts him up to speak for himself, and in the process he makes a spark or two of sense to some Cato-ish folk.It looks like the full text of his op-ed is available on one page, at Politico.

Michael Stuart Kelly Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 Just for the record, Beck has maintained for months an open invitation to interview Soros for the full hour on his show. Soros has formally refused.More than once.Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
