- Summary:
- In contrasting approaches, Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos have chosen to use some of their wealth to build rocketry businesses, while Bill and Melinda Gates and Warren Buffett have chosen philanthropy. A question The Economist (2011) posed after analyzing IBM versus the Carnegie Corporation in recognition of their respective 100th anniversaries in 2011 is still relevant: "Has the multinational business or universal philanthropy done more for society?" Paraphrased for this context, it reads, "Is the Gates-Buffett approach to philanthropy a better use of money than rocketry as envisioned by Bezos-Musk?" This is the question students are asked to ponder.
