I too would like the world more if there were less of that. I can't think of a lot of philanthropists off the top of my head who made their fortunes from unambiguously morally-good methods. My personal opinion is that we're probably on an upward trajectory. Comparing how Gates made his fortune with the Rockefellers, Vanderbilts, Carnegies, etc. I think Microsoft comes out on balance a bit better.
- Jedd 9y agoThank you for your thoughtful follow-up. I agree that we're probably on an upward trajectory -- and that's a very good thing indeed.
