The alchemy of finance

Book • 1987
In 'The Alchemy of Finance,' George Soros provides a detailed account of his investment strategies and introduces the concept of 'reflexivity,' which challenges traditional economic and financial theories.

The book includes a theoretical and practical analysis of financial trends, historical perspectives on financial markets, and a real-time experiment detailing his trading activities.

It also features a new chapter by Soros on the secrets of his success and a new Foreword by Paul Volcker, former Chairman of the Federal Reserve.

The book emphasizes the role of thinking participants in financial markets and the self-reinforcing trends that arise from their interactions.
