Really, that's too ... ( 4 months ago by sykopomp)

Really, that's too much of a manichaean view of things.
His entire point, by the way, is that it wouldn't be about being 'sincerely' philanthropic. The entire talk was about getting corporations to do these things purely on market forces.
Whether he's being selfless or not is completely irrelevant, and trying to raise someone to sainthood or condemning them to hell is the wrong approach here. The point is that the things he's suggesting could do good things in the world.

I hear he treats ... ( 4 months ago by Shemjazashai)

I hear he treats his employees very poorly. Most people with his attitude are just as generous and self-less as other people... when he wants to be, but on the inside he is also like everyone else... susceptible to greed and power. The amount of power money gives people in capitalistic countries can do some things to your ego... And I'm sure his ego is up there.

yea for a couple of years, then they would still be in the same boat. Life is about giving. What do African's give?

When the IMF and ... ( 3 months ago by Quietlydoesit)

When the IMF and World Bank stipulate to cash poor coutries what they must do to be creditworthy, those conditions are always skewed in favour of the developed world. Usury is sinful to deists and oppression to anyone with a moral sense. You can't do anything you put your mind to if the powerful are determined to stop you. Unless you organise.

Third world property rights and ways to enforce those contracts.

America, i believe, is one of the few countries in the world that have guys like Bill Gates. It is no wonder God bless America.

If America can only ... ( 3 months ago by cybermotaz)

If America can only put one of its CEOs in the Office instead of the corrupted politicians...America has a lot of great people and none of them are running for the office! I am not american but I happen to live in America and work with the great people of this country...great potential and whatever the media says Americas future is bright. God bless america for what it stands for not for its corrupted politicians with all due respect.

He's given more away than anyone in human history. This just shows that altruism isn't about helping people; it's about hating success.

if any1 understands a capitalist society, one society always feeds upon another country.

Pro-Capitalism policies and Pro-Socialism policies will do nothing but SHIFT the social problems of society. DIFFERENT POLICIES WILL ONLY SHIFT PROBLEMS! Only technology solves problems and improves society. Feel free to subscribe to my videos. Thanks.

Wow, so when ... ( 1 month ago by Marly61)

Wow, so when people's lives are saved by shifting resources from rich elites, one less yacht, to children born in the USA without health care (I know a 9 year old, without health care, who was murdered by the USA health care system from a tooth-ache) that is only shifting problems?

the politics of the ... ( 1 month ago by Marly61)

the politics of the global economy is a one-party system, dominated by a class of multinational investors and their client policy experts. We might call it the Neoliberal Party—or perhaps the Party of Davos, from the site (until last year) of the annual meeting of the world's financial and policy elite. In a one-party system, the absence of democracy is hardly a surprise. Although one can see the beginnings of a party in opposition (the Party of Porto Alegre?) in the anti-globalization protests.

neoliberalism's ... ( 1 month ago by Marly61)

neoliberalism's antidemocratic nature flows from the fact that it was driven by the technocratic class. To flourish professions do not need a majority of citizens to believe in their expertise. They require a source of payment for their services and/or support for their professional training. As in the United States, Mexican businesspeople were willing to foot the bills in order to change the way the country's educational elite thought about economics.

I think gates hit on something here... as part of the social contract with the world we owe it to ourselves to find new markets where we can trade and develop.I'm not saying to force any one's hand, but certainly this is the direction we need to move towards.

uuummm need some deep thought !!

A country where ... ( 3 weeks ago by philosophyarchitect)

A country where individual rights are consistently upheld is, in a sense, necessarily somewhat anti-democratic. Yes having government leaders elected is absolutely necessary to keeping a nation free, but to give the majority absolute rule over the individual is inherently unfree. But that is only by a broad definition of democratic.

And only capitalism ... ( 3 weeks ago by philosophyarchitect)

And only capitalism allows technology to flourish. Socialism/capitalism is not the passive transfer of a finite amount of wealth. The ability to keep and sustain private property is absolutely necessary for economic expansion and innovation.
As a small, small example, go down the list on the economic freedom (i.e. capitalism) index and think about the general trend as the amount of this goes up and/or down.

Our culture, ... ( 3 weeks ago by philosophyarchitect)

Our culture, unfortunately, opposes reason individualism and capitalism too much for a CEO-minded person to be elected even if he or she did run. Considering the sort of nonsense one needs to withstand to be a politician no wonder they don't run!
