I don't know if charity is always the answer. (...) You had charity all through the dark ages, all through the middle ages, people gave money to the church, the church [built] houses for the poor - didn't solve the problem of poverty. That was solved by free markets, and property rights, and free trade, and all that kind of stuff. That solved the problem of poverty. Through that wealth you get charitable opportunities that weren't there before, but fundamentally I think charity is a nice sidedish to opportunity. It's important, but (...) all it does is transfer and usually it's to a one time use. A nice thing about entrepreneurial stuff is that it creates a sustaining and self-growing economic opportunities.
