Bill Gates who has been accredited as being the richest man in the world today, we would not see a lot of giving back to the community. Gates has had some bouts of giving but considering his wealth one might say it is trivial. And if you were to take a look at the reasoning behind his giving it would show up as still being to his favor. Such as giving a small amount of computers to the schools so as to allow the students access to the internet through his own proxy server, thereby realizing a profit.

Conclusion

It would seem that most of the Robber Barons of yesterday and today made their money by unscrupulous tactics, or monopolies. These monopolies were created by the Robber Barons themselves and by what ever means possible they made every effort to keep their strong hold in their business as long as possible. Now there is a downside to this although they were over bearing in their business tactics, stepping on who ever they had to make a profit there seem to be a certain amount of guilt involved. For unknown reasons they felt it necessary to give back a large amount of that profit to better society. Perhaps this could be looked at as more of them feeling like they could be in control of man kinds destiny, or by giving something back the guilt would be lifted for being so ruthless in the business world.

And as far as Bill Gates goes perhaps one day he will wake up and realize enough is enough and be more of a philanthropist himself.
