标题:What Bill Gates reveals about other billionaires


An unusual biography of the technologist-turned-philanthropist


正文:“Americans appear to be growing increasingly uneasy about billionaires,” observes Anupreeta Das, a journalist and former finance editor at the New York Times. Do they embody the American dream or endanger it? And who gets to decide what billionaires owe to society? Ms Das has chosen an original way to address these questions: by writing a biography of Bill Gates, the first superstar tech billionaire. With his long career and its many ups and downs, Mr Gates is “the perfect prism through which to refract these thorny moral questions” in pursuit of a “collective rethink” about American values.
