From their website:

The Berggruen Institute on Governance sees itself as an independent think tank which develops practicable solutions for the political systems of the 21st century.

 

The functioning of the Institute: It brings outstanding public figures and people, the Government’s work first hand and know my own practical experience with the most successful entrepreneurs and the most important intellectual thought leaders in the world together.

 

You make councils, “Councils”, which meet regularly and engage in the long term. Their common goal is to develop a baseline for the challenges of today’s Government work, to discuss, to submit concrete proposals for action, and to accompany the process.

Soros, a Hungarian-American business magnate, is the chairman of Soros Fund Management. and supports progressive-liberal causes.

 

He is known as “The Man Who Broke the Bank of England”.

 

 

 

 

The Berggruen Institute on Governance is under the direction of Nicolas Berggruen, a jet setting billionaire who is working tirelessly to bring about the Progressive Movement into mainstream, to destroy the very fabric of independence and liberty.
