After carving out a place for himself in business history, BILL GATES seems equally determined to leave his mark on philanthropy. The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation is the largest private foundation in the world, dedicated to expanding health care and education and reducing poverty. Although Gates is the Chairman of Microsoft, his day-to-day activities focus on the Foundation and its work around the globe. That’s why he’s making time to talk with MATTHEW BISHOP at the 92nd Street Y – part of Bishop’s ongoing series “The Business of Philanthropy.” Bishop is the American Business Editor of The Economist and co-author of Philanthrocapitalism: How Giving Can Save the World (Bloomsbury Press, Nov 10, 2009), coming out in paperback the day before his appearance at 92Y (www.philanthrocapitalism.net).

This is a rare opportunity to hear Gates talk about his astonishing business career and his passionate commitment to leaving the world better than he found it.
