Bill Gates On Controlling Capitalism And Mr G9
PERRY points us to a story entitled Gates calls for “creative capitalism”:
Gates said the self-interest behind capitalism had driven multiple innovations but to harness it to the benefit of all required the system be refined. Greater focus on recognition for improving the lives of others could provide a spur for companies to focus more on making money out of providing valuable products at affordable prices to the world’s poor. He urged multinationals to pledge the services of their top people to the work.
Writes Perry:
Ah, I get it. White man speak with forked tongue… “but to harness it to the benefit of all required the system be refined”. Bill Gates is not in fact calling for voluntary anything, he is calling for The System to be ‘refined’, which means he wants to make capitalism less capitalist and more politically directed by our caring masters. Could the fact he hangs out with show biz types and politicos who are all solidly statist give us a clue to decoding his words here?

Oh dear me.
Show biz types are known for their total inexperience of the markets, aren’t they?
I mean, there was poor Lope de Vega, grinding away at the quill face, only managing to turn out 9oo pieces in his entire working life, never realising that selling his work was a statist activity, and that if he’d only hung around for a few more centuries somebody could have explained to him that he’d only thought he was selling his work in a free market…
