PHILANTHRO-CAPITALISM

reading...
Philanthro-Capitalism by Matthew Bishop and Michael Green, C 2008 by the authors.
HOW THE RICH CAN SAVE THE WORLD
Bloomsbury Press

This book is about the youthful millionaires and billionaire entrepreneurs who suffer guilt for these unexpected riches and have "sudden wealth syndrome" They have to discover what the purpose of their life is, and they decide to use their excessive wealth to make impact on the world. From Bill Gates to Bono, these people are taking the advice of robber-baron Andrew Carnegie, and giving much of what they own away, often much much more than they give their own families.

My serious question, as I read about the outreach to poor people in other nations is WHAT ABOUT AMERICANS FIRST ?
