Reply #7: Candy-coated greed.

[Kutjara]

Whichever way you slice it, capitalism is ultimately about making a buck and nothing else. Hoping that, somehow, the desire to squeeze every last dollar out of a market is compatible with the public good (particularly in developing, poorly regulated, easily exploited markets) is naive in the extreme.

Bill Gates may be a genius at running a software company, but he's barely an adolescent when it comes to development economics.
