Bill Gates and Creative Capitalism

During the 2008 Davos economic forum in Switzerland, Bill Gates talked about Creative Capitalism and the effect it can have on the poor as well as the rich. He spoke on companies finding new ways to be innovative and create products that can beneift the poor and allow them to be educated and contribute to society. I feel that Bill Gates is on to something. We should try to use the technology around us to better this country and world. As America becomes more powerful so should the people living in it. The only way we can do that is by creating products that uplift the enviorment and the people living in it. There is a book called "The Wealth of Nations" by Adam Smith. In this he talks about Nations the effect that money has on people as individuals and the effect that workers have on the economy. It's a real interesting material to read. Bill Gates, Bono, Warren Buffett, Oprah, and others are making use of their wealth and focusing on empowering people so that they can change their surroundings.
