Making Capitalism More Creative
By Bill Gates
Capitalism has improved the lives of billions of people — something that's easy to forget at a time of great
economic uncertainty. But it has left out billions more. They have great needs, but they can't express those
needs in ways that matter to markets. So they are stuck in poverty, suffer from preventable diseases and never
have a chance to make the most of their lives. Governments and nonprofit groups have an irreplaceable role in
helping them, but it will take too long if they try to do it alone. It is mainly corporations that have the skills to
make technological innovations work for the poor. To make the most of those skills, we need a more creative
capitalism: an attempt to stretch the reach of market forces so that more companies can benefit from doing
work that makes more people better off. We need new ways to bring far more people into the system —
capitalism — that has done so much good in the world.
There's much still to be done, but the good news is that creative capitalism is already with us. Some
corporations have identified brand-new markets among the poor for life-changing technologies like cell
phones. Others — sometimes with a nudge from activists — have seen how they can do good and do well at
the same time. To take a real-world example, a few years ago I was sitting in a bar with Bono, and frankly, I
thought he was a little nuts. It was late, we'd had a few drinks, and Bono was all fired up over a scheme to get
companies to help tackle global poverty and disease. He kept dialing the private numbers of top executives and
thrusting his cell phone at me to hear their sleepy yet enthusiastic replies. As crazy as it seemed that night,
Bono's persistence soon gave birth to the (RED) campaign. Today companies like Gap, Hallmark and Dell sell
(RED)-branded products and donate a portion of their profits to fight AIDS. (Microsoft recently signed up
too.) It's a great thing: the companies make a difference while adding to their bottom line, consumers get to
show their support for a good cause, and — most important — lives are saved. In the past year and a half,
(RED) has generated $100 million for the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria, helping put
nearly 80,000 people in poor countries on lifesaving drugs and helping more than 1.6 million get tested for
HIV. That's creative capitalism at work.
Creative capitalism isn't some big new economic theory. And it isn't a knock on capitalism itself. It is a way to
answer a vital question: How can we most effectively spread the benefits of capitalism and the huge
improvements in quality of life it can provide to people who have been left out?
The World Is Getting Better
It might seem strange to talk about creative capitalism when we're paying more than $4 for a gallon of gas and
people are having trouble paying their mortgages. There's no doubt that today's economic troubles are real;

The document discusses how the emerging wellness industry and direct selling/network marketing are combining to create new wealth and millionaires. It notes that the wellness industry, which focuses on preventative health rather than sickness, has grown to a $200 billion business. At the same time, the boom in home-based businesses and availability of powerful yet affordable technology has supported the rise of network marketing/direct selling. The author argues these two trends are a "perfect storm" that provides an unprecedented opportunity to create both a satisfying lifestyle and tremendous wealth over the next decade as 10 million new millionaires are created in the US.
The document outlines the top 10 greatest benefits of capitalism according to the author. It argues that capitalism provides greater choice, freedom, and opportunities for economic growth and innovation. It also claims that there are no viable alternative systems that have proven to work as well as democratic capitalism in modern times. The author concludes that the foremost capitalist democracies like the US, Canada, and countries in Europe are the happiest places in the world.
"It is clear that in a crisis, the rules do not apply. This which makes you wonder why they are rules in the first place. This is an unprecedented opportunity to not just hit the pause button and temporarily ease the pain, but to permanently change the rules so that untold millions of people aren’t so vulnerable to begin with".

Bill Gates discussed his annual letter which highlighted the success in helping the poorest people in the world survive diseases and feed their children through increased aid. However, some question how to prioritize aid given economic difficulties in their own countries. Gates argues aid is a small percentage of budgets but can save lives, so it should not be reduced. He also discussed ensuring aid effectiveness, balancing GMO opportunities and concerns country by country, population growth challenges, continued support for organizations like the Global Fund, and progress toward polio eradication.

This document provides 20 big ideas for transformations in 2012 to address major issues. It suggests avoiding a prolonged economic slump by fundamentally transforming outdated institutions for financial services, media, energy, transportation and global cooperation. New models are needed that embrace principles of collaboration, openness and sharing. Ideas include embracing radical transparency, ensuring communication rights in the digital age, engaging youth to avoid radicalization, shifting to networked global problem-solving, building democratic governments after Arab uprisings, improving societal information flows, and developing new models for cheaper, better government through open data and social innovation.
This white paper discusses the lack of breakthrough social innovations that permanently solve social problems, despite significant funding. It provides 4 key characteristics of breakthrough innovations: 1) systemic, targeting root causes rather than symptoms, 2) sustainable without continuous funding, 3) scalable to millions, and 4) self-organized by empowering communities. However, there are barriers including a focus on easily measured symptoms, separating problems into silos, and sidelining visionaries. The paper recommends shifts to overcome these barriers and better harness creativity to generate sustainable, scalable solutions that dissolve social issues.
The document discusses implementing a business intelligence and big data infrastructure for a large company. It notes that the consulting firm, Huron, has significant experience in similar projects and can help the company leverage big data as a strategic asset. Huron emphasizes their client-focused approach and ability to effectively analyze and communicate complex issues.
Major donors are changing how they give to charities. While baby boomers currently give the most, younger generations will become increasingly important sources of funding over the long run. New strategies are needed to engage donors across different age groups through various channels. Social enterprises that generate earned income represent an emerging opportunity for nonprofits to access new sources of capital beyond traditional philanthropic methods that are no longer sufficient on their own.
Capitalism bases its strategy on provoking consumption at whatever cost, or executing a service at whatever price, such as the re-education of minors locked up for months by pure trifles. And it is precisely this consumption that fuels the energy. The film does not come to raise the environmental consequences that can be seen all over the planet caused by a system based on the plundering of natural assets to enrich a few.

Document #1: History of the Economic Systems and Theories
Capitalism
Capitalism is an economic system that emphasizes private ownership of the factors of
production, freedom of choice, and individual incentives. These freedoms and
incentives apply to workers, investors, consumers, and business owners. In pure
capitalism, the government does not interfere with the economy—the wages of workers,
the prices of goods, what producers can make, the ways that businesses make or sell
their goods and services, or any other regulations. Capitalism assumes that the best
way to serve society is to let people produce, sell, and buy as they wish.
The goal of capitalism is to create what is called a free market. In economic terms, a
market is not literally just a market like a grocery store. A market or marketplace is
wherever all sorts of goods and services can be sold and bought. In a free market or
free enterprise economy like that under capitalism, the government places no limits on
the freedom of buyers and sellers to make their economic decisions.
Origins of Capitalism
The basic theories about capitalism and free trade come from Adam Smith. Smith was a
Scottish philosopher and economist who lived in the 1700s. In his famous book The
Wealth of Nations, Smith suggested the government take a laissez-faire approach to the
economy. Laissez-faire is a French term meaning “to let alone.” Smith thought the
forces of the marketplace would act as an “invisible hand” guiding economic choices for
the best possible results.
Competition plays a key role in a free-enterprise or free-market economy because
sellers compete for resources to produce goods and services at the most reasonable
price. If they are successful, they make more money. At the same time, consumers
compete over limited products to buy what they want and need. Finally, these same
consumers, now in their role as workers, compete to sell their skills and labor for the
best wages or salaries they can get.
Pure capitalism has five characteristics: private ownership and control of property and
economic resources, free enterprise, competition, freedom of choice, and the possibility
of profits.
Free Enterprise in the United States
A true and total capitalist system does not exist in reality. The United States, however, is
a leading example of a capitalist system in which the government plays a role. Our
society is deeply rooted in the value of individual initiative—that each person knows
what is best for himself or herself. We also respect the rights of all persons to own
private property. Finally, our society recognizes individual freedom, including the
freedom to make economic choices. However, because the U.S. government also
regulates many aspects of the economy, it does not have a purely capitalistic economy.
Mixed Economies
Economists describe the economies in the United States and many other nations as
mixed economies. Mixed economies combine elements of capitalism and socialism.

Consider the following perspective from the Just the Facts Coalition, a group comprised of counselors and other helping professionals who work with adolescent children:
Sexual orientation is not synonymous with sexual activity. Many adolescents as well as adults may identify themselves as lesbian, gay, or bisexual without having had any sexual experience with persons of the same sex. Other young people have had sexual experiences with a person of the same sex but do not consider themselves lesbian, gay, or bisexual. This is particularly relevant during adolescence because experimentation and discovery are normal and common during this developmental period. (American Psychological Association, 2013)
Straight, lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgendered, and questioning—when it comes to sexuality and sexual orientation, what influences individuals the most?

1) Most films and popular scholars would say that New Kingdom Egypt is the height of their civilization, but all the "Great Pyramids" and other culturally defining ideas are from the Old Kingdom. Which do you believe is the best period which shows the height of the Egyptians, the Old or New Kingdom Egypt? Or do you think the Middle Kingdom is the height of the Egyptians? To answer this question, choose one building, site, city, or artifact which supports your belief from either the Old, Middle, or New Kingdom. For this topic, you may use an example from the textbook, but you must find supportive information that is not mentioned in the textbook about your example from an external source (website, book, or article) to support your response. Your example could also be something not mentioned in the textbook at all. Please cite your sources for this submission.

Or
3) Early archaeologists went searching for physical evidence of the myths they studied, which was due to Heinrich Schliemann's finding of Troy. Was this method of searching for mythology a good idea for searching for artifacts and physical cities? This question is asked because the stories of the myths lasted for about 2600 years before someone went looking for and found the myths of the Greeks. Why didn't someone do this before Schliemann? This idea of "myth-chasing" still goes on, so what kind of modern "myth" do people search for in our present time?

Ideas include embracing radical transparency, ensuring communication rights in the digital age, engaging youth to avoid radicalization, shifting to networked global problem-solving, building democratic governments after Arab uprisings, improving societal information flows, and developing new models for cheaper, better government through open data and social innovation.
This white paper discusses the lack of breakthrough social innovations that permanently solve social problems, despite significant funding. It provides 4 key characteristics of breakthrough innovations: 1) systemic, targeting root causes rather than symptoms, 2) sustainable without continuous funding, 3) scalable to millions, and 4) self-organized by empowering communities. However, there are barriers including a focus on easily measured symptoms, separating problems into silos, and sidelining visionaries. The paper recommends shifts to overcome these barriers and better harness creativity to generate sustainable, scalable solutions that dissolve social issues.
The document discusses implementing a business intelligence and big data infrastructure for a large company. It notes that the consulting firm, Huron, has significant experience in similar projects and can help the company leverage big data as a strategic asset. Huron emphasizes their client-focused approach and ability to effectively analyze and communicate complex issues.
Major donors are changing how they give to charities. While baby boomers currently give the most, younger generations will become increasingly important sources of funding over the long run. New strategies are needed to engage donors across different age groups through various channels. Social enterprises that generate earned income represent an emerging opportunity for nonprofits to access new sources of capital beyond traditional philanthropic methods that are no longer sufficient on their own.
Capitalism bases its strategy on provoking consumption at whatever cost, or executing a service at whatever price, such as the re-education of minors locked up for months by pure trifles. And it is precisely this consumption that fuels the energy. The film does not come to raise the environmental consequences that can be seen all over the planet caused by a system based on the plundering of natural assets to enrich a few.

Document #1: History of the Economic Systems and Theories
Capitalism
Capitalism is an economic system that emphasizes private ownership of the factors of
production, freedom of choice, and individual incentives. These freedoms and
incentives apply to workers, investors, consumers, and business owners. In pure
capitalism, the government does not interfere with the economy—the wages of workers,
the prices of goods, what producers can make, the ways that businesses make or sell
their goods and services, or any other regulations. Capitalism assumes that the best
way to serve society is to let people produce, sell, and buy as they wish.
The goal of capitalism is to create what is called a free market. In economic terms, a
market is not literally just a market like a grocery store. A market or marketplace is
wherever all sorts of goods and services can be sold and bought. In a free market or
free enterprise economy like that under capitalism, the government places no limits on
the freedom of buyers and sellers to make their economic decisions.
Origins of Capitalism
The basic theories about capitalism and free trade come from Adam Smith. Smith was a
Scottish philosopher and economist who lived in the 1700s. In his famous book The
Wealth of Nations, Smith suggested the government take a laissez-faire approach to the
economy. Laissez-faire is a French term meaning “to let alone.” Smith thought the
forces of the marketplace would act as an “invisible hand” guiding economic choices for
the best possible results.
Competition plays a key role in a free-enterprise or free-market economy because
sellers compete for resources to produce goods and services at the most reasonable
price. If they are successful, they make more money. At the same time, consumers
compete over limited products to buy what they want and need. Finally, these same
consumers, now in their role as workers, compete to sell their skills and labor for the
best wages or salaries they can get.
Pure capitalism has five characteristics: private ownership and control of property and
economic resources, free enterprise, competition, freedom of choice, and the possibility
of profits.
Free Enterprise in the United States
A true and total capitalist system does not exist in reality. The United States, however, is
a leading example of a capitalist system in which the government plays a role. Our
society is deeply rooted in the value of individual initiative—that each person knows
what is best for himself or herself. We also respect the rights of all persons to own
private property. Finally, our society recognizes individual freedom, including the
freedom to make economic choices. However, because the U.S. government also
regulates many aspects of the economy, it does not have a purely capitalistic economy.
Mixed Economies
Economists describe the economies in the United States and many other nations as
mixed economies. Mixed economies combine elements of capitalism and socialism.

Consider the following perspective from the Just the Facts Coalition, a group comprised of counselors and other helping professionals who work with adolescent children:
Sexual orientation is not synonymous with sexual activity. Many adolescents as well as adults may identify themselves as lesbian, gay, or bisexual without having had any sexual experience with persons of the same sex. Other young people have had sexual experiences with a person of the same sex but do not consider themselves lesbian, gay, or bisexual. This is particularly relevant during adolescence because experimentation and discovery are normal and common during this developmental period. (American Psychological Association, 2013)
Straight, lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgendered, and questioning—when it comes to sexuality and sexual orientation, what influences individuals the most?
For this Discussion, review this week’s media presentation, “Perspectives: The ‘Tween’ Years,” reflecting on the factors that influence sexuality and sexual orientation during the tween years. Then, complete the post assigned to you by your Instructor.

3) Early archaeologists went searching for physical evidence of the myths they studied, which was due to Heinrich Schliemann's finding of Troy. Was this method of searching for mythology a good idea for searching for artifacts and physical cities? This question is asked because the stories of the myths lasted for about 2600 years before someone went looking for and found the myths of the Greeks. Why didn't someone do this before Schliemann? This idea of "myth-chasing" still goes on, so what kind of modern "myth" do people search for in our present time?

Exercise 40
You Spoiled It.
Motorola, Inc., fired its CFO, Paul Liska, in January for a number of reasons related to his performance as stated by Motorola. Liska has filed a suit against Motorola for the conditions of his dismissal. Motorola, accused its former CFO of destroying evidence needed in the case, and asked the Cook County Circuit court to sanction Mr. Liska for “spoiliation” of evidence in the case. When he was fired on January 29, Mr. Liska left the company with his company laptop, and when he returned his laptop on February 17, the laptop had been “wiped.” Motorola’s forensic investigators had found that a data destruction program was run on the laptop numerous times to destroy any usable data needed by Motorola to show what Mr. Liska had been working on prior to his dismissal. Mr. Liska states that he only deleted personal files.
Do you believe that all files related to the case have been destroyed?
Are there any other places that work files related to the CFO’s accounting activities would be kept?
What would have to been done to files collected from a source other than Mr. Liska’s laptop?
Would these files be acceptable in a courtroom case?
Exercise 27
Finding a Criminal.
Five customers at the Tartu Bank had complained about unauthorized monies being withdrawn from their accounts. The Bank has a business fraud team which was called together to investigate the thefts from the accounts. The team could determine the account receiving the funds, times the events occurred, the amount of the cash withdrawn from the accounts, whether a bank password had been reset, but they did not have the skills to develop additional information about the IP address used in the thefts. They could not determine the source country or region, the IPS involved, and whether the session used to withdraw the cash was from an IP used by their customer. Tell them how they can use Internet tools to further identify the cyber criminals and describe the job each tool should perform.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
How to Fix the Import Error in the Odoo 17Celine George
An import error occurs when a program fails to import a module or library, disrupting its execution. In languages like Python, this issue arises when the specified module cannot be found or accessed, hindering the program's functionality. Resolving import errors is crucial for maintaining smooth software operation and uninterrupted development processes.
Making Capitalism More Creative By Bill Gates Capital.docx
1. Making Capitalism More Creative
By Bill Gates
Capitalism has improved the lives of billions of people —
something that's easy to forget at a time of great
economic uncertainty. But it has left out billions more. They
have great needs, but they can't express those
needs in ways that matter to markets. So they are stuck in
poverty, suffer from preventable diseases and never
have a chance to make the most of their lives. Governments and
nonprofit groups have an irreplaceable role in
helping them, but it will take too long if they try to do it alone.
It is mainly corporations that have the skills to
make technological innovations work for the poor. To make the
most of those skills, we need a more creative
capitalism: an attempt to stretch the reach of market forces so
that more companies can benefit from doing
work that makes more people better off. We need new ways to
bring far more people into the system —
capitalism — that has done so much good in the world.
There's much still to be done, but the good news is that creative
capitalism is already with us. Some
corporations have identified brand-new markets among the poor
for life-changing technologies like cell
phones. Others — sometimes with a nudge from activists —
have seen how they can do good and do well at
the same time. To take a real-world example, a few years ago I
was sitting in a bar with Bono, and frankly, I
thought he was a little nuts. It was late, we'd had a few drinks,
and Bono was all fired up over a scheme to get
2. companies to help tackle global poverty and disease. He kept
dialing the private numbers of top executives and
thrusting his cell phone at me to hear their sleepy yet
enthusiastic replies. As crazy as it seemed that night,
Bono's persistence soon gave birth to the (RED) campaign.
Today companies like Gap, Hallmark and Dell sell
(RED)-branded products and donate a portion of their profits to
fight AIDS. (Microsoft recently signed up
too.) It's a great thing: the companies make a difference while
adding to their bottom line, consumers get to
show their support for a good cause, and — most important —
lives are saved. In the past year and a half,
(RED) has generated $100 million for the Global Fund to Fight
AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria, helping put
nearly 80,000 people in poor countries on lifesaving drugs and
helping more than 1.6 million get tested for
HIV. That's creative capitalism at work.
Creative capitalism isn't some big new economic theory. And it
isn't a knock on capitalism itself. It is a way to
answer a vital question: How can we most effectively spread the
benefits of capitalism and the huge
improvements in quality of life it can provide to people who
have been left out?
The World Is Getting Better
It might seem strange to talk about creative capitalism when
we're paying more than $4 for a gallon of gas and
people are having trouble paying their mortgages. There's no
doubt that today's economic troubles are real;
people feel them deeply, and they deserve immediate attention.
Creative capitalism isn't an answer to the
relatively short-term ups and downs of the economic cycle. It's
a response to the longer-term fact that too
many people are missing out on a historic, century-long
improvement in the quality of life. In many nations, life
expectancy has grown dramatically in the past 100 years. More
3. people vote in elections, express their views and
enjoy economic freedom than ever before. Even with all the
problems we face today, we are at a high point of
human well-being. The world is getting a lot better.
The problem is, it's not getting better fast enough, and it's not
getting better for everyone. One billion people
live on less than a dollar a day. They don't have enough
nutritious food, clean water or electricity. The amazing
innovations that have made many lives so much better — like
vaccines and microchips — have largely passed
them by. This is where governments and nonprofits come in. As
I see it, there are two great forces of human
nature: self-interest and caring for others. Capitalism harnesses
self-interest in a helpful and sustainable way but
only on behalf of those who can pay. Government aid and
philanthropy channel our caring for those who can't
pay. And the world will make lasting progress on the big
inequities that remain — problems like AIDS, poverty
and education — only if governments and nonprofits do their
part by giving more aid and more effective aid.
But the improvements will happen faster and last longer if we
can channel market forces, including innovation
that's tailored to the needs of the poorest, to complement what
governments and nonprofits do. We need a
system that draws in innovators and businesses in a far better
way than we do today.
Naturally, if companies are going to get more involved, they
need to earn some kind of return. This is the heart
of creative capitalism. It's not just about doing more corporate
philanthropy or asking companies to be more

virtuous. It's about giving them a real incentive to apply their
expertise in new ways, making it possible to earn
a return while serving the people who have been left out. This
can happen in two ways: companies can find
these opportunities on their own, or governments and nonprofits
can help create such opportunities where
they presently don't exist.
Creating New Incentives
Even so, no matter how hard businesses look or how creatively
they think, there are some problems in the
world that aren't amenable to solution by existing market
incentives. Malaria is a great example: the people who
most need new drugs or a vaccine are the least able to pay, so
the drugs and vaccines never get made. In these
cases, governments and nonprofits can create the incentives.
This is the second way in which creative
capitalism can take wing. Incentives can be as straightforward
as giving public praise to the companies that are
doing work that serves the poor. This summer, a Dutch
nonprofit called the Access to Medicine Foundation
started publishing a report card that shows which
pharmaceutical companies are doing the most to make sure
that medicines are made for — and reach — people in
developing countries. When I talk to executives from
pharmaceutical companies, they tell me that they want to do
more for neglected diseases — but they at least
need to get credit for it. This report card does exactly that.
Publicity is very valuable, but sometimes it's still not enough to
persuade companies to get involved. Even the
5. best p.r. may not pay the bill for 10 years of research into a new
drug. That's why it's so important for
governments to create more financial incentives. Under a U.S.
law enacted last year, for example, any drug
company that develops a new treatment for a neglected disease
like malaria can get a priority review from the
Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for another product it has
made. If you develop a new drug for malaria,
your profitable cholesterol drug could go on the market as much
as a year earlier. Such a priority review could
be worth hundreds of millions of dollars. It's a fantastic way for
governments to go beyond the aid they already
give and channel market forces so they improve even more
lives.
Of course, governments in developing countries have to do a lot
to foster capitalism themselves. They must
pass laws and make regulations that let markets flourish,
bringing the benefits of economic growth to more
people. In fact, that's another argument I've heard against
creative capitalism: "We don't need to make
capitalism more creative. We just need governments to stop
interfering with it." There is something to this.
Many countries could spark more business investment — both
within their borders and from the outside — if
they did more to guarantee property rights, cut red tape and so
on. But these changes come slowly. In the
meantime, we can't wait. As a businessman, I've seen that
companies can tap new markets right now, even if
conditions aren't ideal. And as a philanthropist, I've found that
our caring for others compels us to help people
right now. The longer we wait, the more people suffer
needlessly.
The Next Step
In june, I moved out of my day-to-day role at Microsoft to
6. spend more time on the work of the Bill & Melinda
Gates Foundation. I'll be talking with political leaders about
how their governments can increase aid for the
poor, make it more effective and bring in new partners through
creative capitalism. I'll also talk with CEOs
about what their companies can do. One idea is to dedicate a
percentage of their top innovators' time to issues
that affect the people who have been left behind. This kind of
contribution takes the brainpower that makes
life better for the richest and dedicates some of it to improving
the lives of everyone else. Some pharmaceutical
companies, like Merck and GlaxoSmithKline, are already doing
this. The Japanese company Sumitomo
Chemical shared some of its technology with a Tanzanian
textile company, helping it produce millions of bed
nets, which are crucial tools in the fight to eradicate malaria.
Other companies are doing the same in food, cell
phones and banking.
In other words, creative capitalism is already under way. But we
can do much more. Governments can create
more incentives like the FDA voucher. We can expand the
report-card idea beyond the pharmaceutical industry
and make sure the rankings get publicity so companies get
credit for doing good work. Consumers can reward
companies that do their part by buying their products.
Employees can ask how their employers are
contributing. If more companies follow the lead of the most
creative organizations in their industry, they will
make a huge impact on some of the world's worst problems.
More than 30 years ago, Paul Allen and I started Microsoft
because we wanted to be part of a movement to put
a computer on every desk and in every home. Ten years ago,
Melinda and I started our foundation because we
want to be part of a different movement — this time, to help
create a world where no one has to live on a
dollar a day or die from a disease we know how to prevent.
7. Creative capitalism can help make it happen. I hope
more people will join the cause.
The Gospel of Wealth - Summary
Andrew Carnegie did not believe that men of great wealth were
robber barons, but trustees whose duty it was to devote
their talents to the common good. This, he wrote, is "the true
Gospel concerning Wealth, obedience to which is destined
some day to solve the problem of the Rich and the Poor, and to
bring 'Peace on earth, among men of Good-Will.'"
Drawing on the doctrine of St. Paul, that the rich had to be
stewards of wealth, defenders of the Gospel of Wealth, like
the Episcopal Bishop of Massachusetts, argued that it was God's
will that some men attained great wealth, and "in the
long run, it is only to the man of morality that wealth comes."
He concluded: "Material prosperity is helping to make the
national character sweeter, more joyous, more unselfish, more
Christ like."
In an 1889 essay, steel magnate Carnegie told his fellow
business leaders, "The man who dies thus rich dies disgraced."
Carnegie believed that the wealthy should repay their debt to
society. True to his beliefs, by his death in 1919 he had
divested himself of more than 95 percent of his fortune. He
built a library building for any town that would provide a
site, stock the building with books, and guarantee maintenance
expenses. He provided pensions for professors at
universities that agreed to meet strict academic standards. In
addition to funding music halls, outdoor swimming pools,
and church organs, he also set up endowments to promote
teaching and world peace.
8. Gospel of Wealth - Document
The problem of our age is the administration of wealth, so that
the ties of brotherhood may still bind together the rich
and poor in harmonious relationship. The conditions of human
life have not only been changed, but revolutionized,
within the past few hundred years. In former days there was
little difference between the dwelling, dress, food, and
environment of the chief and those of his retainers. . . . The
contrast between the palace of the millionaire and the
cottage of the laborer with us today measures the change which
has come with civilization.
This change, however, is not to be deplored, but welcomed as
highly beneficial. It is well, nay, essential for the progress
of the race, that the houses of some should be homes for all that
is highest and best in literature and the arts, and for all
the refinements of civilization, rather than that none should be
so. Much better this great irregularity than universal
squalor. Without wealth there can be no Maecenas [Note: a rich
Roman patron of the arts]. The "good old times" were not
good old times . Neither master nor servant was as well situated
then as to day. A relapse to old conditions would be
disastrous to both-not the least so to him who serves-and would
sweep away civilization with it....
. . .
We start, then, with a condition of affairs under which the best
interests of the race are promoted, but which inevitably
gives wealth to the few. Thus far, accepting conditions as they
exist, the situation can be surveyed and pronounced good.
The question then arises-and, if the foregoing be correct, it is
the only question with which we have to deal-What is the
proper mode of administering wealth after the laws upon which
civilization is founded have thrown it into the hands of
9. the few? And it is of this great question that I believe I offer the
true solution. It will be understood that fortunes are
here spoken of, not moderate sums saved by many years of
effort, the returns from which are required for the
comfortable maintenance and education of families. This is not
wealth, but only competence, which it should be the aim
of all to acquire.
There are but three modes in which surplus wealth can be
disposed of. It can be left to the families of the decedents; or
it can be bequeathed for public purposes; or, finally, it can be
administered during their lives by its possessors. Under the
first and second modes most of the wealth of the world that has
reached the few has hitherto been applied. Let us in
turn consider each of these modes. The first is the most
injudicious. In monarchial countries, the estates and the greatest
portion of the wealth are left to the first son, that the vanity of
the parent may be gratified by the thought that his name
and title are to descend to succeeding generations unimpaired.
The condition of this class in Europe today teaches the
futility of such hopes or ambitions. The successors have become
impoverished through their follies or from the fall in
the value of land.... Why should men leave great fortunes to
their children? If this is done from affection, is it not
misguided affection? Observation teaches that, generally
speaking, it is not well for the children that they should be so
burdened. Neither is it well for the state. Beyond providing for
the wife and daughters moderate sources of income, and
very moderate allowances indeed, if any, for the sons, men may
well hesitate, for it is no longer questionable that great
sums bequeathed oftener work more for the injury than for the
good of the recipients. Wise men will soon conclude
that, for the best interests of the members of their families and
10. of the state, such bequests are an improper use of their
means.
. . .
As to the second mode, that of leaving wealth at death for
public uses, it may be said that this is only a means for the
disposal of wealth, provided a man is content to wait until he is
dead before it becomes of much good in the world....
The cases are not few in which the real object sought by the
testator is not attained, nor are they few in which his real
wishes are thwarted....
The growing disposition to tax more and more heavily large
estates left at death is a cheering indication of the growth of
a salutary change in public opinion.... Of all forms of taxation,
this seems the wisest. Men who continue hoarding great
sums all their lives, the proper use of which for public ends
would work good to the community, should be made to feel
that the community, in the form of the state, cannot thus be
deprived of its proper share. By taxing estates heavily at
death, the state marks its condemnation of the selfish
millionaire's unworthy life.
. . . This policy would work powerfully to induce the rich man
to attend to the administration of wealth during his life,
which is the end that society should always have in view, as
being that by far most fruitful for the people....
There remains, then, only one mode of using great fortunes: but
in this way we have the true antidote for the temporary
unequal distribution of wealth, the reconciliation of the rich and
the poor-a reign of harmony-another ideal, differing,
indeed from that of the Communist in requiring only the further
evolution of existing conditions, not the total
overthrow of our civilization. It is founded upon the present
11. most intense individualism, and the race is prepared to put
it in practice by degrees whenever it pleases. Under its sway we
shall have an ideal state, in which the surplus wealth of
the few will become, in the best sense, the property of the
many, because administered for the common good, and this
wealth, passing through the hands of the few, can be made a
much more potent force for the elevation of our race than
if it had been distributed in small sums to the people
themselves. Even the poorest can be made to see this, and to
agree
that great sums gathered by some of their fellowcitizens and
spent for public purposes, from which the masses reap the
principal benefit, are more valuable to them than if scattered
among them through the course of many years in trifling
amounts.
. . .
This, then, is held to be the duty of the man of Wealth: First, to
set an example of modest, unostentatious living,
shunning display or extravagance; to provide moderately for the
legitimate wants of those dependent upon him; and
after doing so to consider all surplus revenues which come to
him simply as trust funds, which he is called upon to
administer, and strictly bound as a matter of duty to administer
in the manner which, in his judgment, is best calculated
to produce the most beneficial result for the community-the man
of wealth thus becoming the sole agent and trustee for
his poorer brethren, bringing to their service his superior
wisdom, experience, and ability to administer-doing for them
better than they would or could do for themselves.
