What drives wealthy businesspeople to give away much of their riches?
For some, it's a sense that philanthropy isn't an option but a responsibility. Others may be guided by less noble goals, such as the desire to minimize tax liability. But does it really matter what their motivation is, as long as they contribute to solving some of the world's most difficult problems?
In this execuBook, authors Matthew Bishop and Michael Green examine how philanthropists like Bill Gates and Warren Buffett are applying the same secrets that lay behind their money-making success to their charitable giving.
This summary shows how a small number of people aim to use their wealth to change the world. It will be of interest to anyone who wants to understand the broader meaning of business success.
