Explore the intricacies of Bill Gates' ambitious philanthropic efforts as he pledges to donate 99% of his wealth, primarily targeting Africa over the next two decades. Delve into the motivations behind his generosity, the religious and philosophical underpinnings, and the potential implications for global public policy.
