Donald Trump is the face of these cuts, but the cruelty of his administration is not the only story. After jumping up in the 2000s, the global gift for health grew very slowly over the years 2010. The culture of philanthropy has also changed somewhat, with the age of promising – in which hundreds of richest people in the world promised to donate more than half of their large fortunes to Liefdial Movement and then an upstart movement and then surrendered to the upstairs movement and then surrendered to the upstairs movement and an upstairs movement and then surrendered and an upstart movement and then surrendered and an upstairs movement and then surrendered an upstairs movement Extreme wealth defined by altruism than altruistic than by grandiosity. After the separation of the Gateses in 2021, Melinda eventually left the foundation to lay her own philanthropy; Warren Buffett, an old supporter, recently announced his plans to have the majority of his remaining fortune in the hands of a charity that will manage his own children, and not to give extra money to the Gates Foundation outside of his death. After a few years of slow decrease after the soil, this is the year that foreign aid-such as the CEO of the Gates Foundation, Mark Suzman, recently written in the economist “of a cliff.”
The progress has also been bumpy on the ground, especially in the aftermath of the Pandemic emergency, when many routine vaccination programs were paused and the poorest countries in the world were thrown, massively, in extreme debt complaints. The share of the world's population in extreme poverty fell by almost three -quarters between 1990 and 2014, but since then it has hardly shrunk.
To hear Gates and his team tell it, this is the time to go into it all the yawning gaps produced by Post-Pandemic setbacks and the Trump attack, and given the promise of biomedical aids and other life-saving innovations now in the development pipeline, and given AI, returns. They even talk excitedly about a world in which the Gates Foundation has made itself superfluous. That world sounds extremely attractive. But – given the obstacles – can it be built?
For two days at the end of April I spoke with Gates about the state and inheritance of his philanthropic enterprise, the performance and disappointments so far and what awaits us. What follows is a processed and condensed version of those conversations, in which he was sunny, detailed and confident, sometimes to the point of Bruske certainty that in the coming decades even more radical improvements in global development would result in what he called afterwards, “our wonderful period”.
I. 'Millions of extra killing children'
Let's talk about the very current time, in which the Trump administration turns its back on completely foreign help and not only many millions of people are left behind, but also most global global institutions in the Lurch. How bad is it?
