Billionaires giving away their wealth and dedicating themselves to philanthropy started with Carnegie.
Gates getting a large group of billionaires to donate half was also over a decade ago. The half always made sense since the other half could still be dedicated to productive capital that contributes back to philanthropy half.
I guess when it’s the environment and not trying to save hundreds of millions of lives through eradicating malaria and related health/development investments it gets treated as uniquely special?
- cscurmudgeon 4y agoYeah, reporters needs to read more. Also the attitude of zero sum wealth is so glaring in the article. The constant swipes at capitalism is getting boring too. Without capitalism there would not have been wealth to donate (and other isms also cause damage to the planet in the first place).
