Soros: “I Fancied Myself As Some Kind Of God.” “A passage in his book The Alchemy of Finance, published in 1987, distinguishes Soros from all other financiers, ever. ‘I have always harboured an exaggerated view of my self-importance,’ he wrote. ‘To put it bluntly, I fancied myself as some kind of god or an economic reformer like Keynes, or, even better, like Einstein. My sense of reality was strong enough to make me realise that these expectations were excessive, and I kept them hidden as a guilty secret. This was a source of considerable unhappiness through much of my adult life. As I made my way in the world, reality came close enough to my fantasy to allow me to admit my secret, at least to myself. Needless to say, I feel much happier as a result.’” (Stephen Fay, “Profile: George Soros: God Of All He Surveys,” The Independent [London], 5/17/98)
heres the book https://www.amazon.com/Alchemy-Finance-George-Soros/dp/0471445495
No, thinking creation of fiat money involves literal alchemy is at best a conspiracy and at worst utter nonsense on the same level as flat earth and other crap.
The title of that book is just that, a title.
The full title is "The Alchemy of Finance: Reading the Mind of the Market", by the way.

Do you think it involves literal mind reading as well as literal alchemy?
Exhibit one
Since when is making a profit on an investment such an evil act? I know the history and I've read his book.
The BoE created the opportunity that should have never existed, if not for their stupid behavior. Soros took advantage and made a profit. Why aren't you blaming the stupid policy makers at the BoE? Are you some sort of socialist who thinks making a profit is evil? Should all iphones be given away for free by Apple for zero profit and Google be handed over to the government so that all the profits can be spent by politicians?
Craziness.
