Interesting that one of the fastest growing business in the world is philanthropy. Even though Gates is "giving" his wealth away, he's still making billions.
Here's a good book to read:)

Thanks so much!
As for what to read, it really depends on what you're interested in but I always recommend the classics when it comes to anything to do with the left first.
However, if you'd like something more modern and lighter here are some of my recent favorites:
He's giving from one hand, taking back from the other basically. And his giving on one hand is done for spectacle, for public image, it's what a PR firm told him to do after the 1999 microsoft monopoly trials.
A lot of his non-profit aid consist in paying for-profits that are often already responsible for the issues in Africa, or aid that benefit microsoft following this simple scheme : give money to for-profit to help education -> this for-profit then use the money to buy microsoft license to help said education. In 2014 they have 2.2 millions dollars of their foundation invested in for profit prison, probably more now.

Microsoft is a scam, it's a malware and spyware, designed for control, thanks to him the USA have an awesome way to spy easily basically anybody who uses it. Microsoft is an active participant to the PRISM project.
Devil's best trick is make us believe he doesn't exist.
> Rich people do not monetarily benefit from charitable donations unless they’re committing fraud.
Here is a whole book about it. And yes, they have very creative ways to get returns on their investments. Tax avoidance being a big one.
His “charitable giving” to media companies helps build that kind of public sentiment. Look under the surface and it’s not so rosy.
Here, friend. Read this:
