A NEW YORK TIMES EDITORS’ CHOICE

‘Nobody who comes away from reading The Bill Gates Problem will look at him in the same way’ The Times

You know Bill Gates as the founder of Microsoft, the philanthropist, the kind-hearted billionaire who has donated countless funds to good causes worldwide. But there is another side of Gates.

In this bold, groundbreaking investigation, Tim Schwab offers readers a counter-narrative, where Gates has used his monopolistic business approach to gain astonishing control over public policy, scientific research, and the media. Whether promoting new educational standards in America, health reforms in India, or industrial agriculture in Africa, Gates' unchecked social experiments have proven not only undemocratic but also ineffective.

All this raises the question: why should the ultra-wealthy have the ability to turn their wealth into political power, and how far can they go?
