书籍简介

荣获奥斯卡金像奖提名的《万物理论》、《至暗时刻》和《两位教皇》的编剧对比尔·盖茨和沃伦·巴菲特的友谊进行了引人入胜的描述——这是历史上具影响力的关系之一，也是即将上映的戏剧和电影的基础 。

从金融到科技再到慈善事业，很少有友谊比比尔·盖茨和沃伦·巴菲特之间的友谊对世界产生如此深远的影响。 1991 年在一次聚会上相识后，两人打牌、打高尔夫球、讲笑话、交换商业秘密、吃垃圾食品、交谈和倾听。 他们日益增长的友谊将影响每个人并带来更大规模的变革，促成了拥有近 500 亿美元资产的比尔和梅琳达·盖茨基金会的发展。

这样一个不寻常的联盟是如何开花结果的？ 具体来说，每个人以什么方式开始影响对方？ 这两个热心的财富积累者是如何共同决定通过捐赠财富来解决世界上一些关键的问题——贫困、疾病、不平等？ 在一个巨大财富和巨大不平等的时代，他们的超级财富伙伴关系对我们其他人意味着什么？ 本书全面地描述了这段非凡的关系，并探讨了这段关系如何改变了这两个人，并让世界变得更加美好。

From the Academy Award-nominated screenwriter of The Theory of Everything, Darkest Hour, and The Two Popes comes the fascinating account of Bill Gates and Warren Buffett’s friendship—one of the most impactful relationships in history, and the basis of an upcoming play and film.

Few friendships have had such far-reaching implications for the world—from finance to technology to philanthropy—than that between Bill Gates and Warren Buffett. After meeting at a party in 1991, the two played cards and golf, shared jokes, swapped trade secrets, ate junk food, talked and listened. Their growing friendship would impact each man and lead to change on a grander scale, culminating in the development of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, which holds nearly $50 billion in assets.

How did such an unusual union blossom? In what ways specifically did each man begin to influence the other? How did these two avid wealth accumulators jointly decide to address some of the world’s most critical problems—poverty, disease, inequality—by giving their wealth away? And what, finally, does their giga-wealthy partnership mean for the rest of us in an age of great wealth—and great inequality? This book gives the fullest account yet of this extraordinary relationship and explores how it has transformed these two men—and is changing the world for the better for all of us.
