Description: From its beginnings as a surprisingly personal venture to its place among the most powerful philanthropic forces in the world, this book traces how the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation came to be and how it operates. It looks at the foundation's inner workings, then follows its work through global health, American education, agricultural development, and financial inclusion. It also takes a clear-eyed look at the controversies and criticisms that come with so much influence, asking what private wealth can and cannot achieve in solving public problems. A thoughtful read for anyone curious about modern philanthropy, global development, and the future of giving as the foundation looks toward 2030.
