Creative Capitalism: A Conversation

A Conversation is a web experiment designed to produce a book -- a collection of essays and commentary on capitalism, philanthropy and global development -- to be edited by us and published by Simon and Schuster in the fall of 2008. The book takes as its starting point a speech Bill Gates delivered this January at the World Economic Forum in Davos. In it, he said that many of the world's problems are too big for philanthropy--even on the scale of the Gates Foundation. And he said that the free-market capitalist system itself would have to solve them.

One of life's most unfortunate "necessities"

The Fine Art of Sucking Up To Your Boss, presented by Forbes Magazine: "Employees seeking to develop trust and rapport with their bosses are advised to adopt a similar style and energy, be respectful of their position and produce quality work that comports with their expectations. "

Or you could short-cut right to the Andy Bernard version: "Name repetition, personality mirroring, and never breaking off a handshake."

Hey, it worked for him! Oh, wait...
