George Soros on monetary policy

“I think the most important lesson that we need to learn is that it's not enough to control the money supply, that we also have to control credit separately from money. And we have to recognize that markets go to extremes of euphoria and panic, and therefore we have to adjust the margin requirements and the minimum reserve requirements that we impose on banks and market participants.”

About George Soros
In a 2010 interview with Chrystia Freeland, George Soros discussed global disorder and the fragility of European institutions. He argued that the European Union, which he described as the embodiment of an "open society," had been transformed by the euro crisis from a voluntary association of equals into a hierarchical structure of creditors and debtors. Soros also characterized Russia under Vladimir Putin as resembling inter-war Germany, calling it "nationalistic and based on resentment," and said the Putin regime's primary interest was preserving itself in power and maximizing rents. Soros stated that sanctions alone were insufficient to address the situation in Ukraine, as they reinforced Putin's narrative of Western hostility. He advocated for a strategy combining sanctions with effective assistance to Ukraine, arguing that a flourishing Ukraine could serve as a role model for people under Putin's domination and eventually bring about change in Russia.
