Bill Gates “I Listened to You. and I Use”
Microsoft founder Bill Gates talks about the search for meaning in Davos, the misappropriation of aid and development meetings in back rooms.

The students in the “Old Theatre” in the prestigious London School Of Economics greet him with friendly applause, but her true passion can only be seen on the giant screen on the wall, which reflects all of their tweets, which they in their laptops, smartphones and tablets Send Auditorium. “Bill has just arrived – exciting,” writes one. “Chop the most in this room and tap into their iPads and iPhones and other Apple products – that is a must hurt him,” writes another.
The days when Microsoft founder Bill Gates upset still about comparisons with his rival Apple lie back for some time. Gates wants to come to talk about the successes of his foundation, which in times of financial crises, the fight against malaria, AIDS in developing countries continue to lead and finance. His talk will be broadcast worldwide on the Internet, and while he talks, tweets and blogs with the world. Virtual pat on the back for the second-richest man in the world, rising for years in his role of the good Samaritan and is now more excited for it to be developing new vaccines, rather than to sell new IT products.
Mr. Gates, the founder of the World Economic Forum in Davos, Klaus Schwab, has now provided with an unusually open form of self-criticism for excitement: “We have failed to learn our lessons from the financial crisis of 2009,” he said, “Capitalism in its present form does not fit into the world around us. “Do you share his view?
Did he really say that?
Did he, in a newspaper interview.
I’m always cautious in such matters. But if he has said so, as you quote it now, then I do not agree with him.
Why not?
What bothers me is currently a bit of the fuzziness of the concept of capitalism. Since many things are equal, this is not the same. The form of capitalism in Germany is different than in the United States and Great Britain or – quite the other extreme: in China. What I’m saying: It is a bit vague when one tries to understand the financial and debt crisis in a blanket criticism of capitalism. Take Canada. The country had no major financial or currency crisis. But the Canadians have a capitalist system. The same applies to Australia. It’s not like that now, through every country attracts a huge crack, because capitalism shook the world. What I now want to not play down the serious problems in Europe and elsewhere. My concern at first just a different perspective. As the housing bubble burst in the U.S., the consequences were disastrous. The question of how this could happen, would have deserved an answer until today. Europe has to deal with the financial and debt crisis, Japan also has a severe economic crisis behind them – but the crises differ in parts.
