Mr. Gates, if we could expose the corrupt governments that exploit the poor people of the world we could implement your ideas much more effectively and much quicker.
Bill Gates, Oprah, Ted Turner and George Soros are part of the Good Club wanting to cap world’s population at 8.5 Billion.
John Holdren is Obama's appointed Science Czar. Like all Czars, they were not approved by the Senate, which is unconstitutional. He advocated in his book "Ecoscience", sterilization of the human population by adding a sterilization drug to the food and water supply and the government taking babies away from single mom's. GOOGLE “zombietime john holdren” and click on link.
Unlike Zuckerberg, Gates started a real business that made real products and made real efforts to really grow the business he started.
Mark on the other hand, "started" on somebody else's idea, sold his "business" quickly to foreign investors and via his Facebook "invention" ruined many people's lives.
The underlying law of nature may be the world's most useful, profitable and encouraging knowledge.
e.g., It is the most effective and efficient means to improve the performance of any process.
Great personal, economic and societal advantages exist to identifying the underlying law of nature first hand, for oneself, and to understanding and applying its principles.
Capitalism is a tool for the poor,. Bill Gates is awesome, the problem is that the countries which has the most poverty also tend to be the most socialist or ex socialist. Empirical data speak better than ideological slogans.
Read the book "Fortune at the Bottom of the Pyramid", by C.K. Prahalad. The author talks about the business oportunity in the developing countries, and how to eradicate Poverty through Profits.
it's really exciting to see what will happen in the near future to his 'creative capitalism' concept. Like always in theory it sound applicable...but in process & application will it work? and if it does come to fruition what will the new system be like? what r the consequenses? and what r the benefits? what will manifest out of creative capitalism?
Interesting point, I agree with you, I think Bill Gates is a believer in technocracy, which can be really good if done step by step. He is really interested in helping Africa not because he is humanitarian but because he is concerned about the hazard of having Africa in neglect, HIV for example.
& can it be done? There's a guy that I read that published a book on globalisation, that believes in what I termed equality of opportunity...I also had the same thinkin' more or less. I think it can be done. but we need to recreate our way of thinkin
well, alright then I think what he termed as creative capitalism is in line of a libertarian concept of equality of opportunity where humanitarianism, productivity & profitability r in uison with innovation: but is it really socialism or communism I don't think so...
Bill Gates is smart, so is S. Jobs. Stop & Listen then judge, form your opinion. I think I understand what he's saying. I deem or coin it global equality of opportunity. based on the ideological system or theory.
March 2008 Steve Jobs announced that Flash player was coming to Iphone & Ipod touch. other hand held devices have Flash player already. most things on the net today use Flash player & with out it you cant go to website like Hulu & video web sites. I read about it , Why Apple dose not want Flash player on Apple Podphone devices what threat it pose
If you deny entrance to talented people you'll end up regretting because those people will end up in the service of the Russians or Europeans. I don't mean open-border-anarchy either but you must be very careful about your views.
Albert einstein? Even the infamous Wernhert von Braun who was a fervent SS? Gee!
'' The world is gettting better.''Sorry,Mr. Bill Gates,but that's a little to optimistic.Don't you think you're kind of exagerating the truth for your own financial security?
Resource creates capital but resource create much more than just money. Why should capital go more and more into center and flow of exchange become more like a single point of failure or bottleneck of cash supply in current economy crisis? Is it an abuse of control while million and million of people getting jobs lay off, home foreclosures, cheap labor shifting around the world each month?
The person featured in above video says that software can make the world a better place. If his objective is philanthropy, he has got his priorities wrong. Without access to food, clean water and flowing electricity, software has no value.
It has occurred to me that Bill Gates may on balance end up causing more human suffering than any other single individual in History. 1) via the daily misery wrought upon millions of people by the soul crushingly, spirit sappingly aweful software his company have foisted upon the world over the last 20+ years. 2) via spending the vast profits so generated eliminating the few diseases which ever stood a hope of keeping human numbers in check, hence precipitating a global Malthusian catastrophe
Microsoft is laying off for the first time in its history because, like so many other IT companies before it, it laid off its best American developers and sent a lot of the programming work to India. The result is VISTA - the laughingstock of the software industry. It doesn't work - no one wants it - all because 3rd world "programmers" wanted to work on it. Corps. need to learn that no amount of cost-cutting is good if your product is so bad no one wants it.
In capitalism some body is dying because they don't have anything to eat and another person is dying because they ate too much. Now let me ask you a simple question what is wrong with a stateless, classless oppression free society.
What is wrong with a classless society? Easy: MARXISM. Communism has FAILED everywhere it has been tried. Russia - failed. China - failed. Cuba - Failed. And you people keep pushing for it? Capitalism is not perfect but it's the best we have. Maybe the ones who are dying because they didnt have enough to eat were just lazy and unproductive.
I hear you. but you have to judge every individual and co-operation individually. although most co-operations and groups of co-operations are greedy people who thief very well. the role of the people is highlight, enlight and participate in society, even choosing to be captlists themselves. I dont believe a stateless/classless free society will ever exist as you will always have those who act on fear(want to be more powerful/richer than every1 else, including politicians, competitors, the poor)
i wish steve jobs gets involved instead of this this guy, Bill Gates... this guy is just a nerd, whereas Jobs is an incredibly smart and creative guy..., Steve Jobs can really impact society in very positive ways (other than with technology) ...
He is talking about moving away from money capitalism. Creativity ... He think when you are stuck and behind payments all the time, you will be creative by nature. When M$ lusts about your innovations, you better run so they would forget about you.
Then please don't screw people with the intellectual property crabs to China and India. People honor innovations but do not honor for taking away or over people's innovations. Go sell this honor to coporations in your country. Chinese and Indian's philosophies have been trained by many years of painful lessons, they know what craps are.
only the rich can afford charity, will u feed ur neighbor's child when yours is starving? in the game of capitalism, to get rich, u have to depend on the rich. when bread is abundance, the rich dont mind the poor feeding off the crumbs, but when resource is scarce, dont expect crumbs. if the rich is charitable, they will buy all the stocks in the stock exchange to keep the market afloat, but you see them in selling frenzy once they think their very financial interests are at risk.
Profit is mostly created by creating value (for customers, employees shareholders). Wall Street and the debt filled current "American way" is garbage now I agree. Create wealth. Work hard-in an ethical manner-and make lots of money. Government (at the barrel of a gun I might add) takes 40% of everything earned and wastes much of it.
Snuggle up to a nice read of "Atlas Shrugged". Capitalism works. What the elite in the USA have done is not only criminal-it is pure stupidity. Shmucks.
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.
The primary problem is the autocratic nature of those government which stops market economies from developing; when formerly controlled nations adapt market economies, they cease being third world, like Japan and South Korea and, it appears, near-future China. Maybe if the west stopped hating itself the people in these nations would be more likely to adapt what has made us flourish.
All the countries who rejected laissez-faire capitalism are now flurishing. They are all rejecting the structural adjustment programs supported by the Washington Consensus and there economics have turned around and away from the corporate welfare and elitist wealth transfer systems. Such all east asia, Argentina, Standard economic history recognizes that state intervention has played a central role in economic growth.
Standard economic history recognizes that state intervention has played a central role in economic growth. But its impact is underestimated because of too narrow a focus. To mention one major omission, the industrial revolution relied on cheap cotton, mainly from the United States. It was kept cheap and available not by market forces, but by elimination of the indigenous population and slavery.
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.
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.
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.
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 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?
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.
watch on YOUTUBE: "The Truth about the Wall Street Bailout: How "Free Market Capitalism" Really Works. Nader and Chomsky Explain the Game, a Nanny State to Take Care of the Rich"
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.
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!
if what Bill says is from his heart and his actions are genuinely self-less philanthropy, then he is a Saint, imo. If, on the other hand, he is being deceptive then he is a devil. its as simple as that.
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 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.
What reason are you on earth, i think to learn and develop, with that can come technology wich gives us eventually longer lives, dureable power and more control over everything, wich can be bad if used bad.
Eventually i think we should get rid of money but need to have a soldid foundation of understanding and tech. to do this
true. If technology advances quicker than mankind conscience we end in a world war with our "great technology" guided by mediocre politicians. Who gives me a thumb down please explain the reason.
thank you Bill Gatesfor having the imagination, vision, and courage to say these things. I had the opportunity to work with Microsoft and other MNCs to build new business models via partnerships with low income consumers. The new biz models required collaboration across Microsoft divisions; it was clear that Microsoft (and the other companies) was balkanized in a way that made real change almost impossible, though we came up with some wonderful business models which later got adopted. Monika
bill gates has personally given 10s of billions of u.s. dollars to africa. the problem is that most of africa is essentially a desert and the people there cannot form a proper agricultural civilization. agriculture is the basis of civilization and eventually economic growth. figuratively, africa's hand will always be out.
They can't form a proper agricultural civilization because imperial interests force them to only grow products that serve the foreign capitalists like coffee beans, sugar cane, and cocoa.
i'm sorry you feel this way superjesus, but no one can "force" you to do anything. if the people of africa grow and sell those products across the world and don't make profit/can't feed themselves, it's because they don't care or because they're foolish. i'm liberal yet i don't feel responsible for africa's state of affairs. my regards to africa. if bill gates thinks his misguided philanthropy is actually helping africa and not harming the u.s. economic situation, more power to him. he's wrong.
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.
Don't give money away, Mr. Gates. Give poor people the opportunity to make money for themselves. They actually don't want hand outs, they want the ability to make money.
Money is at the root of all Delusional Behavior. When this world wakes up to reality, Bill's money burns up and he's understood as an Anti - Genius. We will one day know Bill as among the world's biggest LOSERS!!! Bill, consider yourself as a sufferer of Mental Illness and you're living in a dark age. Do the math, Bill.
Mr. Gates doesn't address the simple issue of capital. No capital means no financial growth. It's simple. I think we should tax these rich companies that make so much money by leaching from people, and give the money to poor entrepreneurs to solve their people's problems. I can hear the rich in the audience laughing... If they don't NEED anything they won't do it. Greed has worked very well for them. If given the chance I would be sure to build off their little power grid.
I think you're absolutely right about the taxing. It's embarrassing how some American or other big foreign companies in South America only pay around 1 per cent in tax!! We pay 60 per cent in Denmark.. And therefore we have good health care and social security.
That's ridiculous. Tax is simply a cloaked way of stealing money. Profit motived corporations provide goods to supply demand on the basis that they will profit. Tax steals profit and therefore motive. It is a hurt to society. Health care provided by stolen money is nothing to brag about. Enjoy waiting in lines and getting mediocre health care at the expense of others paying for you to go. Small tax is good tax.
why do hohahohis have such a small brain? first of all you can tell that he is german and not russian and the second thing is that excent is not a word....maybe in hohahohiland but not in the rest of the universe
this person is so good. he cares so much about the poor people. i cried when i saw this video! Poor people are so stupid, they simply don't know how the richest few work so hard all day long to help the billions of poor that die from hunger and disease. The richest capitalists are so good people, and its so hard for them to work all day long to help the poor. I think these are the real saints nowadays. We should be very thankful to our masters, they take care of us so much!!!
Bill Gates has to stop jacking up his prices on $2 Ipods to $175 and up for virtually teens who need to buy them...When I was a kid, I merely had to afford a sinmple CD, now kids, who do not work, are subjected to these "RICH" guys who want more and more...HEY BILL, YOU HAVE EBOUGH MONEY!!! Let kids enjoy their music cheaper, cheap DUDE!!!!!!
By the way Bill Gates is the most prominent person of the 20th century. He is zero-made man, who made career from a meduim class to the reachest man on planet. And his difference from other 20th century zero-made men (like Hitler, Stalin, bin Landen, Berezovsky, ect) is that he never killed anyone and never stealed anything. I think he is really exemplary person.
Bill must be suffering from brain damage brought on by an extended head-banger session in one of Bono's bass-bins and/or hypoxia from an oxygen malfunction on his private jet when jetting to Davos. This is complete and utter guff.
Microsoft es una empresa a nivel mundial, misma que ha generado un gran número de nuevos empleos y que a su vez ha revolucionado al mundo logrando un ambiente de mayor competitividad. Esto representa una gran responsabilidad individual para todos aquellos que quieren un mejor futuro; Y fomenta el prepararse mejor para las nuevas tecnologías que hoy en día crecen a pasos agigantados.

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.

The primary problem is the autocratic nature of those government which stops market economies from developing; when formerly controlled nations adapt market economies, they cease being third world, like Japan and South Korea and, it appears, near-future China. Maybe if the west stopped hating itself the people in these nations would be more likely to adapt what has made us flourish.

Philososo, but what about reality?
All the countries who rejected laissez-faire capitalism are now flurishing. They are all rejecting the structural adjustment programs supported by the Washington Consensus and there economics have turned around and away from the corporate welfare and elitist wealth transfer systems. Such all east asia, Argentina, Standard economic history recognizes that state intervention has played a central role in economic growth.

Standard economic history recognizes that state intervention has played a central role in economic growth. But its impact is underestimated because of too narrow a focus. To mention one major omission, the industrial revolution relied on cheap cotton, mainly from the United States. It was kept cheap and available not by market forces, but by elimination of the indigenous population and slavery.

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.
Marly61 3 years ago
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.
philosophyarchitect 3 years ago
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.

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?
Marly61 3 years ago
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, 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!

if what Bill says is from his heart and his actions are genuinely self-less philanthropy, then he is a Saint, imo. If, on the other hand, he is being deceptive then he is a devil. its as simple as that.
AmigaFalcon 3 years ago
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.
sykopomp 3 years ago 2
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.

thank you Bill Gatesfor having the imagination, vision, and courage to say these things. I had the opportunity to work with Microsoft and other MNCs to build new business models via partnerships with low income consumers. The new biz models required collaboration across Microsoft divisions; it was clear that Microsoft (and the other companies) was balkanized in a way that made real change almost impossible, though we came up with some wonderful business models which later got adopted.

bill gates has personally given 10s of billions of u.s. dollars to africa. the problem is that most of africa is essentially a desert and the people there cannot form a proper agricultural civilization. agriculture is the basis of civilization and eventually economic growth. figuratively, africa's hand will always be out.

They can't form a proper agricultural civilization because imperial interests force them to only grow products that serve the foreign capitalists like coffee beans, sugar cane, and cocoa.

i'm sorry you feel this way superjesus, but no one can "force" you to do anything. if the people of africa grow and sell those products across the world and don't make profit/can't feed themselves, it's because they don't care or because they're foolish. i'm liberal yet i don't feel responsible for africa's state of affairs. my regards to africa. if bill gates thinks his misguided philanthropy is actually helping africa and not harming the u.s. economic situation, more power to him. he's wrong.

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.

Mr. Gates doesn't address the simple issue of capital. No capital means no financial growth. It's simple. I think we should tax these rich companies that make so much money by leaching from people, and give the money to poor entrepreneurs to solve their people's problems. I can hear the rich in the audience laughing... If they don't NEED anything they won't do it. Greed has worked very well for them. If given the chance I would be sure to build off their little power grid.

I think you're absolutely right about the taxing. It's embarrassing how some American or other big foreign companies in South America only pay around 1 per cent in tax!! We pay 60 per cent in Denmark.. And therefore we have good health care and social security.

That's ridiculous. Tax is simply a cloaked way of stealing money. Profit motived corporations provide goods to supply demand on the basis that they will profit. Tax steals profit and therefore motive. It is a hurt to society. Health care provided by stolen money is nothing to brag about. Enjoy waiting in lines and getting mediocre health care at the expense of others paying for you to go. Small tax is good tax.

By the way Bill Gates is the most prominent person of the 20th century. He is zero-made man, who made career from a meduim class to the reachest man on planet. And his difference from other 20th century zero-made men (like Hitler, Stalin, bin Landen, Berezovsky, ect) is that he never killed anyone and never stealed anything. I think he is really exemplary person.
