Opening The Soviet System
By George Soros

George Soros is both a participant in and an observer of the revolution which continues to sweep through the former Soviet empire. In this book he tells the story of his involvement, which has grown in line with events.

He presents a theoretical framework which recognizes that participants in history act on the basis of imperfect understanding. He connects the traditional mode of thinking with organic society, the critical mode with open society, and the dogmatic with closed society.
