This is the an excellent commencement speech that was given by Bill Gates at the Harvard Graduation.
Bill Gates Commencement Speech
One of the elements that stuck with me was the part where he had addressed inequities with medical care. He states, “We [Bill and Melinda Gates] had just assumed that if millions of children were dying every day and they could be saved, the world would make it a priority to discover and deliver medicines to save them. But it did not….How could the world let these children die? The answer is simple and harsh. The market did not reward saving the lives of these children, and governments don’t subsidize.”
