Description

George Matheson interviews international financer George Soros, who made a fortune from the collapse of sterling when it pulled out of the European Exchange Rate Mechanism and has donated 50 million dollars to humanitarian aid. He explains why it was so important for him to help the starving and oppressed in Bosnia, particularly as he was a Jew who escaped the Holocaust and his hopes for its use.
