The *Financial Times* has selected our founder and chair George Soros as
its Person of the Year. The *FT* typically chooses somebody based on their
achievements. This year, their selection also reflects the values Mr. Soros
and Open Society support.

The *FT* writes: “He is the standard bearer of liberal democracy and open
society. These are the ideas which triumphed in the cold war. Today, they
are under siege from all sides, from Vladimir Putin’s Russia to Donald
Trump’s America.”

“For more than three decades, Mr. Soros has used philanthropy to battle
against authoritarianism, racism and intolerance. Through his long
commitment to openness, media freedom and human rights, he has attracted
the wrath of authoritarian regimes and, increasingly, the national
populists who continue to gain ground, particularly in Europe.”
