Bill Gates' Nation Nightmares

For a smart, rich person, you would think Bill Gates would understand that you can’t fix a problem from the outside.

He also called for making changes to capitalism so that corporations and governments devote more time and money to doing work that "eases the world's inequities" - and bringing science and technology to everyone.

You have to crawl into the problem and fix it at it’s’ core. When it comes to people, they have to be involved and not bystanders.
I like watching the BBC version of Gordon Ramsey’s Kitchen Nightmares. Last night was a new to America episode that involved an owner that didn’t have a clue on how to run a successful restaurant (actually all episodes operate on that idea). Gordon came in, developed a winning menu, worked with a new talent chef and laid down a good business model. He walked away with the business going strong but came back 6 weeks later to find the door closed. Even with the assistants he provided, the owner wasn’t willing and/or capable to do the right thing.

Most of his episodes consist of him helping owner learn how to do the right thing but it up to them to actually do the right thing. That is what the world is faced with when it comes to poor countries. They have to be taught to do the right thing, they have to be capable of doing the right thing and finally they have to be willing to the right thing. Throwing money, science and technology at them does none of the above. You would thing a smart rich guy like Bill Gates would understand that.
