书籍简介
大家都知道他是微软公司的创始人，是一位热心慈善、心地善良的亿万富翁，为世界各地的公益事业捐献了无尽的资金。然而，比尔-盖茨还有另一面。
我们可能会认为盖茨基金会是一个纯洁的慈善机构，它慷慨解囊，与利益相关者合作，倾听希望帮助的人们的愿望，但实际上它是这样运作的吗？
《比尔-盖茨问题》结合了丰富的故事和突破性的报道，为读者提供了一个关于广为人知的个人--一个真正具有国际影响力的全球名人--的具有挑衅性和及时性的反面故事。不仅如此，本书还探讨了一个与经济不平等和民主制度的侵蚀有关的重要政治问题--为什么超级富豪能够将财富转化为政治权力，他们到底能走多远？
You know him as the founder of Microsoft; the philanthropic, kind-hearted billionaire who has donated endless funds to good causes around the world. However，there's another side to Bill Gates.
We might like to think of the Gates Foundation as an innocent charity giving away money, collaborating with stakeholders, and listening to the desires of the populations it hopes to help, but is that how it works in practice?
Combining rich storytelling and ground-breaking reporting, The Bill Gates Problem offers readers a provocative and timely counter-narrative about the widely recognized individuals - a true global celebrity with international reach. But more than that, this book speaks to a vital political question around economic inequality and the erosion of democratic institutions - why should the super-rich be able to transform their wealth into political power, and just how far can they go?
