【正文】 le poverty and disease in developing took me decades to find graduates came to Harvard at a different know more about the world’s inequities than the classes that came your years here, I hope you’ve had a chance to think about how – in this age of accelerating technology – we can finally take on these inequities, and we can solve , just for the sake of discussion, that you had a few hours a week and a few dollars a month to donate to a cause – and you wanted to spend that time and money where it would have the greatest impact in saving and improving would you spend it?For Melinda and for me, the challenge is the same: how can we do the most good for the greatest number with the resources we our discussions on this question, Melinda and I read an article about the millions of children who were dying every year in poor countries from diseases that we had long ago made harmless in this , malaria, pneumonia, hepatitis B, yellow disease I had never even heard of, rotavirus, was killing half a million kids each year – none of them inthe United were had just assumed that if millions of children were dying and they could be saved, the world would make it a priority to discover and deliver the medicines to save it did under adollar, there were interventions that could save lives that just weren’t being you believe that every life has equal value, it’s revolting to learn that some lives are seen as worth saving and others are said to ourselves: ―This can’t be if it is true, it deserves to be the priority of our giving.‖So we began our work in the same way anyone here would begin asked: ―How could the world let these children die?‖The answer is simple, and market did not reward saving the lives of these children, and governments did not subsidize the children died because their mothers and their fathers had no power in the market andno voice in the you and I have can make market forces work better for the poor if we can develop amore creative capitalism – if we can stretch the reach of market forces so that more people can make a profit, or at least make a living, serving people who are suffering from the worst also can press governments around the world to spend taxpayer money in ways that better reflect the values of thepeople who pay the we can find approaches that meet the needs of the poor in ways that generate profits for business and votes for politicians, we will have found a sustainable way to reduce inequity in the task is can never be a conscious effort to answer this challenge will changethe am optimistic that we can do this, but I talk to skeptics who claim there is no say: ―Inequity has been with us since the beginning, and will be with us till the end – because people just …don’t … care.‖ I pletely believe we have more caring than we know what to do of us here in this Yard, at one time or another, have seen human tragedies that broke our hearts, and yet we did nothing – not because we didn’t care, but because we didn’t know what to we had known how to help, wewould have barrier to change is not too little caring。我也了解了很多科學(xué)上的新進(jìn)展。I learned a lot here at Harvard about new ideas in economics and got
