The Common Interest

Summary/Abstract: For the last five years I have devoted exactly half my income and a substantially larger portion of my time and energy to my foundation network, which now covers 27 countries in the former Soviet empire and two outside: South Africa and Haiti. I did so not because I am a particularly charitable person but because there was something very important at stake. The collapse of the Soviet empire was a historic event. What kind of social organization would take its place would determine the shape of the world for many years to come. Communism had tried to form a universal closed society. Now that it had failed, it was possible to create a universal open society.
