Bill Gates Should Exit the Guilt Lane
Posted by William Dwyer on 6/28, 10:27pm
Bill Gates recently shocked the world by claiming that his accomplishments may have been good for him and Microsoft shareholders, but not the wider society. The richest man in the world, who was collecting an honorary degree from Harvard University suggested that with a personal fortune of about $90 billion (including what he has transferred to his foundation), it was time he gave something back to society. Mr Bill Gates’ plan is to use the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation to reduce world poverty. Could Gates be succumbing to a guilt trip? Could he be falling for the fallacy that when somebody gains, another one loses?
