Book of The Month: "Warren and Bill" by Anthony McCarten

Editor’s Note:  McCarten is a playwright, known for “Bohemian Rhapsody”, among other movies. This seems to make his writing fresh and clear. I wrestle with concept of billionaire philanthropy and so does the author, which makes his even approach worth the read for anyone else interested in these two lives and/or charitable giving trends.

Excerpt:

[Note: Bill’s wife, Melinda, used these words at her graduation:* “’Remember that you are indebted to life until you help some less fortunate person, just as you were helped’”.]*

*McCarten: “It’s not unreasonable to think that it was Bill’s wife who brought Bill around to thinking this way – it would be another trait he shared with wife-schooled Warren Buffett”*

[Note: Susie Thompson Buffett was also a strident social activist].
