It's the Soros way, which permeates to the things he supports such as this.
He went through a phase of introducing his books by claiming he's a misunderstood sociologist that is doing what he's doing (on the markets) to prove his various theories, which he developed at the LSE under Popper. This particularly applies to the concept https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reflexivity_(social_theory) .
Essentially, the things Soros actually did that people hate him for (such as in the UK the episode with the pound) he claims he did to demonstrate that individuals shouldn't be allowed to do them and that especially markets cannot be trusted to be resistant to problematic individuals. Instead some overarching control mechanism must be inserted of the nature I described.

I've never seen him advocate for something like that, would you mind giving a source to your claim?

We can get to that later. Do you have a source for your claim?
You can buy many books George Soros wrote on Amazon. Please use my affiliate link: https://www.amazon.com/Soros-Lectures-Central-European-Unive...
This is about Evgeny Morozov.
Former fellow of the "Open Society Institute" i.e. a promulgator of Soros' ideologies.
He has also been a Yahoo! fellow.
If you don't have any evidence, just say so or stay quiet.
What did you think of that book?
