Billionaire, Nerd, King, Savior. Bill Gates and His Desire to Change Our World
An important story about money and government, wealth and power, media and image, as well as how the richest people in the world hold us captive.
Few billionaires have been in the public eye for so long and in so many...
roles as Bill Gates. At first, he was called a technological visionary, but soon the co-founder of Microsoft transformed into a "ruthless capitalist." Then he changed again, becoming a global benefactor and even setting new standards for billionaire philanthropy. But it turned out that philanthropy can also have a dark side. Drawing on hundreds of interviews, Anuprita Das reveals other secrets, showing us: • how billionaires use their influence • why they manipulate their own image and engage in philanthropy • what political tools they use to achieve desired results.
So what truth lies behind the public persona?
A balanced, insightful, and thought-provoking portrait of a man and his time.
