Soros perceives his role primarily as that of a philosopher, rather than simply a financial operator. In his book "The Alchemy of Finance," published in 1987, he opens with a significant critique of the foundational principles of economics, suggesting that traditional economic theories are flawed. His perspective encourages a deeper understanding of the complexities involved in financial markets.

Both authors invite readers to reconsider the nature of finance and its philosophical implications.
