E adeziunea lui Bill Gates la Zero Hunger challenge-ul lui Ban Ki-moon doar "praf in ochii prostilor"?
"Gated Development demonstrates that the trend to involve business in addressing poverty and inequality is central to the priorities and funding of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. We argue that this is far from a neutral charitable strategy but instead an ideological commitment to promote neoliberal economic policies and corporate globalisation. Big business is directly benefitting, in particular in the fields of agriculture and health, as a result of the foundation’s activities, despite evidence to show that business solutions are not the most effective."

Every
January, Bill Gates sets out his vision for a better world and the role
the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation can play in achieving this in an
annual letter to us all.…

Smaranda Dobrescu Actele
filantropice ale corporatiilor sau companiilor pot fi considerate
manifestari ale responsabilitatii sociale corporatiste care se manifesta
ca un contract sau mai bine spus, un surogat de contract care
înlocuieşte, clasicul contract social dintre
cetăţeni şi stat--dat fiind că statul a cedat (citeşte, privatizat)
multe din funcţiile sale sectorului privat. Spre deosebire de
contractul social clasic în democraţie, între corporaţii şi cetăţeni nu
există buclă de feedback reprezentată de alegeri--asta în condiţiile
concentrării activităţii corporatiste în monopoluri/oligopoluri şi a
implicării crescute a corporaţiilor în politic prin intermediul
lobbyurilor. Pentru actele filantropice, D-l Gates si alti milionari au
reduceri ale impozitului pe profit. Totusi sumele cheltuite astfel sunt
nesemnificative insa comparativ cu impozitarea averilor in cazul in care
companiile nu ar fi filantroape si nu s-ar opune Pikettyizarii.

Prospectiv A-z: Corporate charity is a poor substitute, or *dust in the eyes*, for society. They pretend they care, we pretend we are together in this.
