Can the rich solve all the world's problem? - SpearFang94 - Apr 21, 2026
The way I look at it, if ever billionaire should forfeit 10% ,of their network and 5% of every millionaire, I feel majority of the world's problem. Will be eradicated such as hunger, illiteracy but the wealthy actually aren't obligated to this wh6 we still have this problems

Theoretically it sounds like it would solve a lot, but global problems usually aren’t just about money. Hunger and illiteracy often come from politics, corruption, poor infrastructure, and conflict.

Probably not since they can't even solve their own problems

They could, of course, but why would they? They were raised with different principles. Would you forfeit 10% if you were in that position?

It would only solve those issues if the money directly goes in the hands of those in needs.
I read about this and there have been many studies done as well. The best way to help someone in life solve their material problem (food, shelter, water, education, etc) is to give them money. Because they know best their problem and they know best whether they need food, vehicle or roof repair.
If every rich billionaire gives away a percentage of their money and it goes to every poor person in the world then yes it would solve a lot of issues.

It can. If certain economies get in perfection, world hunger can be solved!

If that happened within a few months they would give the money straight back anyway. Better putting the money toward education

Who says world in in hunger, back in the old stone age, it was hunt x eat - every 10 men group goes to the battle - they end up loosing two or atleast one to score the food, and sometimes starve until weeks before they find another prey in their turf, now its money that controls everything, even the hungriest person can go to the streets and ask for a few pennies to eat, and out of 10 atleast 2 will give them.

"Teach a man to fish" don't work. They don't even have bank accounts, the economy needs to get in shape.

Oh yeah there is the solution, give a corporate company the money you don't have. Or what do mean? you need a bank account to eat fish?
Not seeing how it works in either scenario.
