Summary:
Welcome to Forbes for September 24th, 2012 from Audible. This is the 30th Anniversary issue; it contains seven feature articles.
In the cover story, we'll tell you about, The Forbes 400 Summit: Bill Gates, Warren Buffett and the Greatest Roundtable of All Time - In June FORBES convened the greatest-ever gathering of philanthropists: 161 billionaires or near-billionaires intent on solving the world's most intractable problems.
Also, Why Philanthropy Must Have These 400-Type Entrepreneurs - Successful philanthropy involves as much inspiration and perspiration as entrepreneurial activity.
Next, Meet Philanthropy's Next Generation - Introducing a malnutrition maven, a "toilet hacker," a cycling crusader, a gay rights champion and scions of Soros and Buffett.
We'll also tell you about, Warren Buffett's Secret Hero - Abraham Flexner is a man few modern philanthropists have even heard of.
Then, The Education Of Oprah Winfrey: How She Saved Her South African School - Five years ago the talk show titan's altruism turned into the worst crisis of her adult life. Rather than abandon her South African school, Oprah Winfrey learned from her mistakes--and doubled down on what she believed in.
Followed by, Inside Paul Allen's Quest to Reverse Engineer the Brain - Microsoft cofounder Paul Allen helped revolutionize the world with personal computers. Now he's betting a half-billion dollars that he can do something even more radical: draw a circuit diagram of human consciousness.
And in our final story, How Much Would it Cost to Build Carnegie Hall Today? What would America's most famous landmarks of philanthropy cost to erect today? We crunched the (ballooning) numbers to find out.
