Default Bill Gates Foundation

Has anybody given much thought to Bill Gates and his "creative capitalism" concept?

The current economic situation and the immense poverty in some nations make wonder how capitalism can improve the economic realities. So "new" solutions intrigue me but i lack the tools to assess the quality of the suggestions. Has anybody looked into the Gates proposals?

Your newfound concern for the poor is encouraging. There is an entire blog where prominent economists and business leaders debate the concept.

Thank you. I am interested in removing barriers to economic mobility and am intrigued by some of the new ideas which don't just rely upon old thoughts. The Yunus book really got me thinking and revealed to me, I don't really understand poverty, never having witnessed it.
