{"product_id":"9781541736702","title":"In Defense of Open Society","description":"\u003cp\u003eGeorge Soros -- universally known for his philanthropy, progressive politics, and investment success--has been under sustained attack from the far right, nationalists, and anti-Semites in the United States and around the world because of his commitment to open society and liberal democracy. In this brilliant and spirited book, Soros brings together a vital collection of his writings, some never previously published. They deal with a wide range of important and timely topics: the dangers that the instruments of control produced by artificial intelligence and machine learning pose to open societies; what Soros calls his \"political philanthropy\"; his founding of the Central European University, one of the world's foremost defender of academic freedom; his philosophy; his boom\/bust theory of financial markets and its policy implications; and what he calls the tragedy of the European Union. Soros's forceful affirmation of freedom, democracy, the rule of law, human rights, social justice, and social responsibility as a universal idea is a clarion call-to-arms for the ideals of open society.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"PublicAffairs","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48989183967467,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":47.61,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0758\/4484\/5803\/files\/9781541736702-1.jpg?v=1783383377","url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.com.sg\/ja\/products\/9781541736702","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Singapore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
